Five minute Friday: Ache

Linking up again with The Gypsy Mama with 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: Ache

Being a first time mama, i have alot of aches. Physically...my bones and muscles ache! The hours spent rocking, cuddling and playing with Miss Placid are taking their toll on my weak frame! The hours spent on the floor, on this laptop, whilst she sleeps, just so i can be there when she stirs from a nap to help her back to sleep. These moments, precious....ache.

Another ache emotionally is my heart. It aches with so much abounding love for her. She has stolen my heart and holds it in her tiny little fingers and toes...dancing around with delight. She holds it in the way she smiles and coos at me, telling me how much she loves me im sure! She holds it with how forgiving she is when i constantly make mistakes as i stumble through figuring out what this whole 'parenting' thing is all about.

And i just know...im going to ache forever more. I have not known so much love as i have since Miss Placid entered the world. Soon she is going to grow up, and my heart will ache not wanting her to leave me, not wanting her to forget me as she starts out on her own journey of life.

Much love

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
