Your time starts now!

Ok, so this is not the deep, thoughtful blog the title may have suggested. 

Friend P suggested I try this exercise which he had done... basically you just have to write constantly for 3 minutes on a given topic, giving no regard to grammar and then see what you have written at the end of the time. I copied his chosen topic of "I am thankful for...." and here is what I wrote!

I am thankful for life. Having been through an operation changed my perspective a little on that one. I am also thankful for having loving parents who are still happily married after 37 years today. I am thankful for having a job for over 5 years solid, despite the economic climate. I am thankful for my sense of humour, for the friends and strangers I meet online, for the Spring and the Autumn, for fluffy animals and pretty flowers.
