Today I give thanks for …Penguins?!
Each Friday, I take up a challenge to write for five minutes on a one-word prompt. This month, our friend Andrew has taken on temporary hosting while Kate is on medical leave. So far, his word choices have been easy: coffee, chocolate. Today, our word is penguin. Wait, what?
Penguins of Madagascar?
March of the Penguins?
I remember a line from a poem I wrote as a child.
“Penguin, penguin, arctic clown.
When watching you, I just can’t frown.”
Lately, my writing is usually quite serious. I may need a few penguins to lighten things up!
God made penguins. He also made platypuses. He clearly likes a good laugh.
I thank Andrew for giving me a break from writing about serious stuff.
I thank God for penguins and other reasons to smile.
I thank God for another day to open my eyes
and see all the wonders of His creation.
Laughter is healing to my heart.
I too did a double take when I saw this week’s prompt, and wondered what fellow FMF participants would come up with. Love your take–and the line from the poem you wrote as a child.
it’s been a nice break hasn’t it? Writing just for the sheer fun of it! Who woulda thought of penguins! 🙂 FMF6
Laughter is healing to my heart too.
