The Next First Thing? – #SoCS

First Thing,

let me tell you…

There is no real “First Thing”.

Only “All Things”.

It’s up to you to decide the order of “Things”.

Others will try to Prioritize for you.

Stop. Just. Stop.

And do the Next “Right” Thing…

First Thing.

The prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “first thing.” Start the post with the words, “first thing” and go from there. Bonus points if you end your post with the last thing. Have fun!

#SoCS comes from the website of Linda G. Hill.

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

    I try to keep that “next right thing” in mind. It helps me push through when things are overwhelming.

      Right. Because I’ve often found the “first thing” (especially where external forces are concerned) is not always the next “right thing”.

      “First Thing” triggered anxiety for me, so this is the result. Short and sweet.
