Friday Writings #70: Discovery


Greetings, dear poets and storytellers. I hope life is treating you well. Around my bit of the world, we (and by “we” I mean “me) are trying to get through a gazillion medical appointments (as usual). But I’m not complaining too much: spring is springing, I’ll be able start my balcony garden soon, I’ve been getting some writing done, the orange infection has been indicted, and I’ve discovered that my months and months of physical therapy haven’t been for nothing—I can do push-ups again! All right, modified scapular and triceps push-ups, but that is more than good for now.

Have you discovered anything new lately? Maybe something about yourself, about where you live, about someone you know, about the state of things… If yes, you are in luck, because for today’s optional prompt, I would like you to write poetry or prose inspired by discovery (of people, of places, of interests...).

Let your contribution be something new or old, fiction or nonfiction, short or longish (369 words or fewer). Share the direct link to your post. One link per participant, please. After you share your words, visit other writers… and see what discoveries they’ve spilled into their ink.

next week, Rommy will invite us to write about “small victories”.

    1. I was going to say it should work just fine – but I already see that it did!

  2. Magaly, I'm a bit late to say so, but I am VERY impressed that you can do push-ups again. I have never been able to do them in the first place! (But I do fake ones, standing against a wall.)

    1. Standing push-ups aren't fake push-ups! They are just modified. When I started doing them again--last year--I started with wall push-ups, then bench push-ups, then kneeling push-ups and so on. We should always do with our bodies what our bodies allow. So, I'm VERY happy you can do push-ups.
