Yesterday, I used the 4×4 prompt, focusing on things that are within four feet of me. Today, I thought about a spin to that prompt and considered the sounds instead. I closed my eyes for several moments and just listened.
My phone dinged with a text. My Mom is experimenting with some new recipes and has been sending me photos of her efforts.
I hear the commercials playing on the television. A man in trying to child-proof his living room with pool noodles.
I hear the swish of papers as Mike reviews drawings for his current project. He’s making plans for his week, just like I’ve been doing with my lesson plans.
I hear the creak of my office chair as I shift my position.
Great idea! I am going to try this. It gets difficult trying to come up with something different each day. With this prompt, as long as you are sitting in a different location each time, you’re good! 🙂 Thanks!

Sometimes, we do need to just stop and listen and allow our senses to take over. Had you not stopped to listen, would you have noticed all of these things? Thanks for sharing!
