It does take time.

To

watch a baseball game.

turn a frown into a smile

change your name.

walk a mile.

It does take time.

To

write a thank-you note.

make a bed.

feed a goat.

bake bread.

It does take time.

To

exercise.

meditate.

win a prize.

lose weight.

It does take time.

To

earn money.

review goals.

harvest honey.

fix potholes.

It does take time.

To

view a movie.

call a friend.

relax in a jacuzzi.

learn and attend.

It does take time.

To

make smoothies.

recite affirmations

shoot a home movie.

build a house foundation.

It does take time.

To

buy a house.

be kind.

catch a mouse.

unwind.

It does take time.

To

create art.

construct a house.

assemble a tart.

paint a boathouse.

It does take time.

To

do research

go on a trip.

Google search.

sail on a cruise ship.

It does take time.

To

establish trust.

pick up a second language.

clean and dust.

eat a sandwich.

It does take time.

Tagged again! In response to James & Oneg's Summer Writing Challenge Extravaganza, was flagged to participate in the fifth challenge of the series.

Theme: "You’ve Got Mail! Challenge: start a story/poem with the last line of an email or letter you recently received."

Reached out to my dental office to check the status of the insurance payment. Their email response ended with, " It does take time."

See the below link for the rules.

Read Cendrine's poem below. Yep! She tagged and flagged me!

MAHALO!
