Lovely day spent OUT of the house after being cooped up most of the week due to the snow and ice keeping us indoors. It was a beautiful sunny day with warmer temperatures. It helped melt more of the ice still out there.
I missed my brisk walk/aerobic exercise today, but I did get close to an hour of easy walking. Better than nothing though.
I was wondering what I could write about tonight until I checked my emails, and there it was…
Today’s TOPIC: If you had a time machine that only let you spend one hour in a different time, what date would you go to?
I wondered where would I go? Was there a special time with a special someone ~ like my junior prom with Johnny, the love of my life who died the following summer? Was there a special surprise event ~ which would surely be when I assisted my friend in Ireland who was Director of UNICEF by helping finalize plans for the Gala Ball and Auction; and photographing the two days of events with Audrey Hepburn, UNICEF Ambassador to launch the Children’s Relief fundraiser.
Or maybe the day I woke up with a story in my head, and I spent the day writing and dreaming of other ways the story could be old, not just as a published book. I love the amazing magical story, and that first magical day when it began. What about the day my brother came into my life and special times together throughout our lives.
There were many other special moments and very special people as part of those times; and each could be at least an hour I would enjoy going back to in my time machine. I can’t pick just one, but I am grateful for the wonderful memories. And when I think about it, I CAN actually go back and relive and enjoy those moments…in my memory and in my heart…anytime I want.
What an interesting, thought provoking question! And one that I’ve been thinking about all morning. It’s very hard to pick one hour to go back to in my life – there’s a culmination of times and places that I’d like to revisit and picking one would leave another one out. God, special times in my childhood, moments of becoming “me”, my marriage, raising my children, people in my life- so MANY hours to revisit but I wouldn’t want to take more than one hour as that would take away what is to come.
What a wonderful blog topic Ann!

Thanks Tracey and yes I agree with you.
Word Press comes up with some good topics although I have only used one other besides this one, so far. I need to go back sometime and list them all so I can use them another time when inspiration stricks.
This one did inspire some thoughts. I could have gone on and on and on with many more, but I got the idea across.
Glad you like it.
