First Up

Daily writing prompt
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

Get that giddy feeling that starts in the tummy and spreads throughout the mind and soul in an instant bringing forth a whoop and holler of joy. Praising the Lord is automatically the next thing out of my mouth.

Sometimes great news needs to be shared with the world but other times I want to keep it to myself and savor the taste of victory. Of course, great, amazing and fantastic news to me might be everyday ho-hum to others and I am perceived as out of my mind.

It seems that in the past when I was overjoyed with the blessing of great news there was always a dark cloud above it ready to pour down on my parade. Others seemingly can be jealous or just want to hurt you and remove the joy you have because they don’t have it.

I have been on both sides of this coin and truly believe that sometimes, maybe the best first thing to do is just take a deep breath and figure out who to share it with.
