60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Horse Manure or Something Better?

Hello to you listening in Trabuco Canyon, California!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Perhaps you’ve heard the old joke about two boys each of whom is brought into a room in the middle of which is a staggeringly high pile of horse manure. The first boy looks at the pile in disgust and says, “What’s the big idea here? This is nothing but a pile of horse manure!” But in the other room the second boy is down on his hands and knees gleefully scooping away at the pile saying, “I just know there’s a pony in here somewhere!”

We all face unfairness, misfortunes, difficulties, challenges, and worse. And yet these might not be wasted moments if we can see a chance to learn from our misfortunes. The School of Hard Knocks is not an easy place to get an education but the lessons learned might help us to overcome, perhaps even thrive in what Life throws our way.

Story Prompt: Think about a time when you surprised yourself by turning what appeared to be a great big pile of horse manure into a rare chance to learn something about yourself. Write that story!

Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.

CTA: “Come for the stories – Stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!
