This weekend, we had some family fly in from Colorado to stay with us for the first time. It was 3 days of laughter and love, which ended in magic.
I had to vacate the guest room, aka my writing room, and I was happy to return to my space at the beginning of the week.
When I sat down, I peered at a reminder I wrote on a notepad and found a 20 dollar bill peeking out the side. I don't usually carry cash in my wallet and certainly do not leave it under my note stack.
Hmmm...something fishy was going on. I immediately thought of the magic table video my husband showed us that weekend. In it a man shares his excitement about the magic coffee table that cleans up after him. I thought that was hilarious until my desk started giving me money.
The next day, I closed my laptop to find a row of 4 sticky notes behind it.
This is a perfect slice to capture the magic of the moment! It reminds me of the time my stepson took us to his place of work and was giving my husband the tour of the airport. I was reading, so I stayed put while they were walking so they could have some together time. While they were gone, I saw the sticky notes and decided to go wild, leaving them everywhere with little notes that he said he kept finding for weeks, even behind memos long tacked to the bulletin board. I hope your desk really is magic, but it sounds like you have magical family, and that's even better!
ReplyDeleteA magic desk that gives out money and kindness - what could be better? Now, I'm thinking that would be a great writing prompt for my students!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love the idea of a magic desk- now if my desk could just write for me, please! Xo, Erika
ReplyDeleteA magic desk would be so welcome in my life right about now - it could make all my lesson plans, lol. Thank you for this magical slice.
ReplyDeleteI guess that trip IKEA was worth it! :) This is the perfect example of a slice but it could also make a great writing prompt. What would the magic desk leave me?
