Mindful Writing Day

Today is Mindful Writing Day 2012. Here is my small stone:

The sun breaks through the rain clouds, instantly warming the room and highlighting the specks of dust on my keyboard.

Sleet

The ladies behind the counter in the charity shop shriek a little when the manager tells them it is sleeting outside. I confirm the truth of his statement but reassure them that it is so light that it is barely noticeable,

Chill factor

Unwilling to put the heating on when I am alone in the house, I pull a fleecy dressing gown on over my sweater and trousers. Immediately I can feel my legs and hand start to come to life again as my body warms up.

Homework

I glance at the assignment but computer coding means little to me. The results, however, seem to make sense as a basic game pops up onto the screen and I am invited to make a selection..

Coffee

He buys the largest frothy coffee. As we chat about his future I am relieved that we have found our way back.

Surprise

'It's raining,' he says, hearing the heavy patter on the garden table. But when he looks through the window he sees snowflakes falling amongst the raindrops.

Caller

The lady from the bank is charming when I explain that I can't talk and promises to call back tomorrow. Although I know she will want to sell something, I am relieved that she doesn't pressurise me at that moment.
