The morning shouldn’t start with dirty dishes but often it does. The sponge was looking a bit ragged so I reached into the drawer and pulled out a fresh one. The packaging made a crinkling sound as I pulled it open, reminding me of our guinea pigs and the squeals they would make every time I opened a new bag of lettuce. I looked at the new sponge – fresh and ready for the work it was created to do.
I am feeling a bit ragged this morning and I wish I could pull a new me out of the drawer, unwrap the packaging, and start fresh. Instead, I will unwrap that word – fresh - and see where it takes me today.

Fresh is how the air feels today, but I cannot enjoy it, there is work to be done. I know your feeling of being a bit ragged. I have too much to prepare and fear I do not have time to do it. I hope you were able to find fresh today.
Good word–fresh. We all need a fresh start once in awhile…if only it were as easy as pulling a new me out of the drawer. Hope your day finished well!
I love the way you closed this slice…and hope you found your fresh beginning somewhere today.
It seems to me that you pulled this post out of a drawer quite creatively, and showed us quite a lot in such a few words. Love the analogy!
Gosh I’d forgotten how guinea pigs sound – love that description of the plastic wrapper. I’m ragged too, I’ll have to dream a new sponge into myself.
I love the way you took such a simple task of pulling out a new sponge and wrote about your thinking was very cool. I wrote the word “fresh” in my writer’s notebook. Great line at the end about pulling out a new me. You always get me thinking.
fresh- a new season, a new start….
