Five minute Friday: Grit

Today im going to start linking up with The Gypsy Mama and do her 5 minute Fridays for a bit of fun!!

Around here we write for five minutes flat on Fridays. We write because we love words and the relief it is to just write them without worrying if they’re just right or not. So we take five minutes on Friday and write like we used to run when we were kids.

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Please visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments.

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on: Grit

GO...

Grit
What does the word even mean? To me it sounds like all things dirty, messy and grubby! The kind of things that are enjoyable to do because half the fun of them is the mess you make in doing them! 

Grit...Like when baking a cake in the kitchen: pots, pans, bowls, beaters and measuring spoons everywhere..laying used and dirty over your bench as you scramble to make your yummy delight in the quickest time possible so you can devour it's yummy goodness sooner! 

Grit...like the sand that embeds itself on the scuffed knees of children playing in the playground..who have fallen over on the bitumen playing hide and go seek with their friends. Hair all awry and strayed, sweaty little bodies, laughter on their cheeks.

Grit... even though it may not be the prettiest of words...to me, it is devilish in that it usually means whatever it it's that is getting you gritty..you are most likely having a whale of a time doing it!!

That was good fun!! Now it's your turn!!

Much love
