Writing prompt of the day:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - You get some incredibly, amazingly, wonderfully fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
How do you celebrate? My first instinct would be to make a loud, joyous exclamation and maybe break into a dance. And then I would give thanks – nothing formal like a real prayer, just a shouted THANK YOU into the aether. If there were folks around me [such as at work], I’d be telling them. If I was home alone, I would pick up the phone and call on of my two close friends and babble at them. I would text my son and my daughter – and follow up with a phone call if they were available. Then I would post on social media.
Now what would qualify as “incredibly, amazingly, wonderfully fantastic news “? Something wonderful happening for someone that I love. Finding out that I am 100% hale and hearty. Hearing “I love you” from someone I love. Winning the lottery.
Or after you get the good news, do you wait for the other shoe to drop?
Like when you know you’ll pay for a three day weekend with a four day week that feels much longer than the normal five day work week?
