Five Minute Friday - MOTIVATE

Welcome to this week's Five Minute Friday; the first of many in the new year, 2018!

{Check out the Facebook group to link up with the Five Minute Friday Community.}


This week's Five Minute Friday word is:

Motivate

"Dictionary.com" defines "Motivate" as:

verb (used with object), motivated,motivating.

1.  to provide with a motive, or a cause or reason to act; incite; impel.

Sounds a little like "encouragement" to me!!

And that is what I get from the FMF Community...

Whether I am writing and joining in or not!

Some days I do feel motivated to write;

But the words come to me in the early hours of the morning when I am still tired and not functioning yet!

And, I don't jot those thoughts down to use later!

Other times I don't have the inspiration to write anything; but am still motivated to try...

I just sit down at the computer...

But nothing comes!

This is a new year!!  2018!!

Can I say it has blown in like the nor'easter that has hit Florida and caused all this cold weather!?

Yet, I feel motivated to try this writing venture...again!  To follow the FMF Community and continue the connections made in my earlier years of blogging...

Like my first Write 31 Days challenge in 2014!

Just a few short years ago!

So, here I am again in 2018...

And, I am motivated!  My intention is to write and read in this new year!!

What about yours?!
