Kristen, prompted

Something you think you could never do

Honestly, if push comes to shove, most of us can do things we think we could never do.

On the good side, that means we can find ourselves digging deep and pulling through something incredibly difficult.

On the flip side, sometimes we find ourselves doing something we swore we’d never sink to.

And in the middle, sometimes we can find ourselves more open to something that we didn’t think we’d ever be open to.

(For instance, I never thought I would be ok with getting a cat, but here we are!)

Because of all this, I’m a little unsure about how to answer this question. How can I possibly know what I could never do?

So, I think I’m just going to take this question more lightly.

I’ve always said that I could never move to the Pacific Northwest, or anywhere that is cloudier and rainier than where I currently live.

I’m somewhat flexible on temperatures, but if I ever move to a different state or region, I want to be as sunny or sunnier than here. I really have a much harder time dealing with life when there are long periods of no sun, so if I have a choice, the Pacific Northwest is an area I only want to visit.

What do you think you could never do?

    Leave my children. Eat escargot. Drink whiskey. Wear a bikini.

    Ha! I live north of Seattle and usually there is no where else I’d rather live, but this January has been…bleak. Snow (!), and then rain, rain, rain, and some more rain. On the up side…we do get a lot of books read this time of year…

    I know because I have battled this one in my working life. I just cannot get myself to pop out an artificial eye. Once it is out I can do the care needed. The whole thing grosses me out. I was. teacher of the visually impaired and an RN so you think it should not be a problem.

What’s Kristen Prompted?

Originally, it was me, writing from a list of daily prompts.

But for the moment, I’m using it to share the small essays I’ve written over the last two years, since my evangelical self left my marriage.

Because I don’t want this to be an internet tabloid, the new posts here are only available to members of my Patreon community.

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words! All posts there are free.
