Prompt 23 - direct opposite

Lately things are so busy that I often end up needing that e-mail nudge from Heartful, "Remember to post up the 26n prompt - it's your turn" - thanks Heartful - you're fab!

So, as I know that tomorrow is going to be a hectic day, I'm being good for once and posting up a day early - which is unusual for me! I'm being early to avoid being late.

I've been carrying a birthday card around in my bag since the end of May - it's for a friend, her birthday is at the end of June. On the back of the envelope I wrote, "Don't open until 27th June!" as I fully intended sending it early - the thought was there, fully, fully...

...the card is still in my bag. I lie. The card is now sitting on the kitchen table. I took it out of my bag today, put it on the table in an attempt to remind myself to take it to work in my HAND tomorrow, so I remember to get a stamp and post it.

Sometimes we mean to do/say one thing, but instead we do the direct opposite. Sometimes we try to do the direct opposite, just to avoid what we hope we won't do. Does that make sense?

This post is a direct opposite. The card I wrote early was an attempt at a direct opposite (which is going decidedly pear-shape, with only a few days left to get that card to its overseas destination in time!).

Direct opposite - this week's prompt. Make of it what you will. If you decide to participate (and we'd be ever-so excited if you decided to - whoever, wherever you may be) and want to share then post up on your blog and let us know - we'll be over to read and if you like can link to it here too!
