Participating with the Gypsy Mama and many others in
5-Minute Friday
Where we...
1. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in {you can grab the button code in my right side bar}
3. Go and tell the person who linked up before you what their words meant to you. Every writer longs to feel heard.
It’s a great way to exhale at the end of a beautiful week.
Today's prompt is WELCOME.
GO.
The very first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Welcome" is a warm, well- welcome, the words being said by a person having a huge genuine smile who makes eye contact, gives you their attention and everything in their being exudes warmness.
Now this could conjure a picture of Grandma when the family arrives at the door Christmas morning. But it could also be seen by a stranger in a public situation- take a hostess at a restaurant.
When I am in a social setting I ALWAYS search out the "welcoming" people. They are the ones with the "Yes!" faces that you know you could have a relationship with (or at the very least a nice conversation) and I naturally gravitate toward them. There is an elderly couple at church who are so attractive with their warm, welcoming, sincere smiles. Greeting them (them greeting me) is one of the highlights of my Sunday experience.
STOP.
