Backwards

It's time for another 5-minute Friday where we are supposed to
write for 5 minutes flat for pure unedited love of the written word.
Gypsy Mama's Prompt for this week is...

"Backwards"
 

 If I could live today backwards...

I would have seen that the air conditioner that we took apart to clean out

and then would not turn on

was just a little wet inside.

It works now.

I didn't need to worry;

I just needed to sweat.

If I could live today backwards,

I would see that Lillie's sippy cup would be found

 

 and so would her pacifier

that she must have pitched out of the wagon

on the way back from the barn;

so I didn't need to get upset about it being lost...

again.

If I had to live today backwards,

I would see that the hay fields would finally be finished,

 the barn stacked full of sweet-smelling fresh hay

that God would allow us to beat the rains

that now we pray will come;

that rest

and some time with him again,

will come tomorrow.

If I could live today backwards,

I would see that the Slip-n-Slide was definitely worth

taking out and setting up...

that sitting with them and getting wet

was fun

and what I needed,

and I should just do it for them

instead of groaning when they ask

because I just sat down to my cup of coffee.

If I could live today backwards,

I would see that 

the important stuff,

the little things that really matter

are really the most important things to get done.
