This week's Sunday Scribbling is in two parts.
Part I: What would YOU do if you could freeze time?
I'm trying to think of something profound, but I can't. So I think if I could freeze time, I would allow myself to sleep in an hour or two later. I would relish in the protection of my down comforter against the crisp, fall air. I would breath in the smell of my husband sleeping next to me. I would not worry about the ever-brighter sun making its way through my eyelids. I would rest comfortable knowing that I had as much time as I needed to do my writing, clean the house, see friends, walk the dog, and ride my bike through the falling leaves.
Part II: And also, if you could draw a super power out of the grab bag, what would it be?
Well, after writing that, stopping time sounds good to me! I would also like the ability to find the perfect balance between not caring about what other people think, and also not hurting anybody with my actions or words.

Hey Bug! I like that you'd use your stoppage power to enjoy life a bit more here & there and not do something terribly greedy (or at least that's what you say ... Hmm ... :)
Thanks for popping by my blog, and yes, that piece IS one of my illustrations (or more accurately, a detail/cropped portion of a larger piece).
Ciao,

I'm so glad you posted the candid honesty in both parts. I've been to busy to post this sunday scribbling, and yet, I really am using that as an excuse 'cause I got nothing profound.
As for the superhero power. I wish I had that too. I'd also like the ability to fly...seems like fun. :O).
This was different. I really liked it.
During group, I have been asking the kiddos what they are thankful for. Many of them say sleep! I wouldn't mind some more myself.
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
I like your idea - sounds good to me!
And I think you already have that super power, CJ. I can't imagine you hurting anyone with your words. :)
Very honest post...
here's a suggestion from an older and NOT wiser woman.
Sleep when you are tired. The dog the house and yes, the words will wait. Sleep is a blessing.
Without rest, it all seems too hard.
Fondly,
your insomniac friend
I LOVE SLEEP
Your super power ideas is great. I sure wish I could master the balance between not worrying about what people think and not hurting people.
Sleep feels great and love the power you chose :)
There is profundity in appreciating the ordinary rather than lusting after the impossible.
Ah yes, sleep. Funny how many of us would use stopped time to 'catch up'.
I don't think I would want to freeze time.....in fact, this sounds like a bad idea to me.
And the super power -- well if it's grab-bag, I guess I couldn't chose -- and I don't even know if this would be considered a super power...but I would like to be able to watch over and protect my children forever. Does this sound too psychotic?
Very nice. I love sleep.
