...This wall isn’t finished.
She has the clocks set for different places and the framed prints of cool buildings she likes (she’s an architecture major), but she never wrote whatever quote she had in her mind in the two middle pieces. I think it was something about being timeless (hmmm?) She probably told me what she meant it to say, but I’m in my 40’s and my memory isn’t what it used to be.
Every time I sit down to work or write, I look at that wall and wonder what it’s supposed to say. Is it saying....?
Time Out!
Time to Get to Work, Lazy.
Time never stops...so why are You?
Buildings are Timeless, until they fall down on you in an earthquake.
Once upon a Time...The End.
What should be written there? My mind taunts me to fill in the blanks, but some of my ideas just make me mad and I find myself sticking my tongue out at that wall and saying, “Neener, neener, neener!”
I guess I could stop writing this post right now and call my daughter and solve the riddle that haunts my working hours, but what would be the fun of that? She’d tell me, and that would be the end. Too easy.
As I visit many of your blogs each week to choose my pick for the linky party, I’m amazed by all the creativity buzzing around out there. Back in my 20’s and 30’s, I had a lot of that stuff too (but it wasn’t so cool back then and nobody blogged about it). Now that it’s cool, creativity has left me, but that’s all right...because there is enough of it out there with you all to make up for what I lack now.
So...all you creative people out there...help me FILL IN THE BLANKS!
What would you write in these frames if this was YOUR room?
Pin It
How about (in keeping with the clocks and the photograph theme) putting "Time is..." in one and "Essence" in the other? I left out the Time is "OF THE" essence because it seemed cooler in this grouping...the essence of nature? Get it? Maybe I'm just nuts...hahaha! That's what I thought of when I looked at it.

You could use dry erase markers on the glass to write in your saying so they won't be blank until your daughter gets home.
ReplyDeleteHow about:
Time is now!
Don't let time pass you by.
Time for Fun.

Time is...Essence--I like that.
ReplyDeleteThe dry erase idea is a good one too, because then, depending on my mood, I could be sarcastic or cheesy without making my daughter mad when she came home. She might get mad if she came home to see I'd written, "Time to go to Sonic!" on it. She's quite particular.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. L. for all your suggestions. I liked your last one the best..."Make every HOUR count"; and "Love is T-I-M-E" is a good one too, Ten.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now to write these all down and tell them to my daughter next time I talk with her. If she gives me a different one that's not above, I'll write back here so people can see it.
