Recently I stumbled upon a six word memoir challenge. For weeks I have been toying with what mine would be. I have a few that I cannot choose between, so here they are:
Life's hurdles continuously challenging, always strengthening.
Never forgetting miracles happen every day.
Words flow daily, filling blank pages.
Everyday, the slate is wiped meticulously.
Sprinkle precious family with generous love.
What's your six word memoir? I'd love to see what you come up with. :)

Interaction
My post on Facebook about our fasnachts got lots of feedback as well as requests for the recipe. As I made our customary Fat Tuesday treat with Gwyn, I wondered what unique traditions other people have, not just for today, or those that are food related, just different traditions.
Those of you that know me understand that in addition to baking and cooking, writing and yes, even just editing for someone are activities that distract me when I need to turn my brain off from worry. I love getting lost in a work, watching my words scroll across a page, waiting for someone's eyes to flow in their current, just as much as when a book possesses the magic to dissolve time.
With all of that, I also enjoy good conversation about fiction and non-fiction alike, I suppose that is why I am an English teacher.
So with that thought, and in anticipation of my guest post I have written for the blog Making of a Mom about traditions, I am asking you to help distract me, and give me some interaction here on this blog.
What unique traditions do you have with your family?
What have you passed down from your childhood to your children?
What new traditions have you started with your family or friends?
Ask your kids what their favorite tradition is. It was fun to hear what my girls had to say when I asked them, and the perspective of a child can be refreshing, humorous, and eye-opening.
Feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you want. On this day of indulgence, humor me in my assignment, after all, I've got teacher's withdrawal. :)
