#SOL22 March Musings Day 14: A Day in Six-Word Memoirs

Have you ever thought of your life as a series of six-word memoirs. "A Day in Six-Word Memoirs" is an interesting format being used as a writing prompt on Two Writing Teachers. I am not sure who shared the format but I thought it was a good way to reflect on a day. (If you know who offered this format, please let me know.)

March 14th is now. Tackle the must-do tasks of each day with faith and positivity.
Appreciate life!

Thank you Two Writing Teachers for this daily meeting place to connect with a community of reflective writers.

  1. Sending healing and healthy vibes your way as you prepare for surgery. This six word memoir format is brilliant. The addition of the word art created a helpful convergence.

    1. Back from surgery-groggy and relying on only one eye so thanks for the healing vibes, Tenille.

  3. Thinking of you today, glad to hear you are recovering well! These six word memoirs are great; I really like the four transition words/statements: Now, Appreciate, Must, Positivity (actually, reading these in isolation is a bit like their own poetry, too!)
