Five Minute Friday: New

English: Judgement of Solomon (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun. Pretty sure Madison Avenue didn’t get the memo on that one.

I like things that are new. I bet you do, too. I mean, really, I may have bought a used car, but I’ll never buy used hosiery. I will gladly wear a denim skirt I got at a thrift store, but I will never buy a half-filled bottle of body lotion. Yes to old books, no to old phone books..

Newness does have its limits.

For me, the best new thing is every single moment. It hasn’t been here before. It’s always fresh. It’s always new.

And it’s always.right.now.

Rummaging through my utensil drawer to find enough spoons to drum up a post for the NEW Five Minute Friday at Kate Motaung’s place. (General details here.) You can find a bunch of folks who have reached past their own fears to present their wild offerings. Writers’ Anonymous, if you will. Flash mob style. Maybe it’ll be inappropriate. No judging allowed.
