It’s time for another Five Minute Friday link-up and the word prompt this week is WORTH. I will admit, when I saw this week’s prompt I was a little intimidated. I have been finding, when I only have five minutes to write, what comes up is usually stuff I that I would never tell another soul.
The minute I saw the word “WORTH” I knew that what would come up would be some deep seated personal insecurities. So I delayed in sitting down to write. I managed to spend the entire day successfully avoiding thinking about the word. But I have this commitment to write every day this month so I have to get into it. So here goes.
You can join in too. The rules are pretty simple – write for 5 minutes on the word prompt for the week and post to your blog, then add your post to the linky party over at the Five Minute Friday community.
Setting timer now…
GO
I was chatting with a friend on Wednesday evening and we got to talking about travel. He wanted to know how I did the solo travel thing so well. And I told him, because it was worth it. Solo travel is probably the best way to get to know yourself.
Like I always suspected that I was kinda awesome, but I didn’t really know just how awesome I really was, until I got lost in a city I didn’t know and had to find my own way back to my hotel. Not once, not twice…
Good times I tell you.
Of course, when I said this to him I was more than half joking.
My secret? I really wasn’t joking. I actually do think that I pretty awesome. Some of the time.
Not always.
Sometimes, I hover somewhere between this is enough, I am enough and whose life is this anyway?
Is this okay?
STOP
Today’s post is brought to you by a rocking soundtrack as I prepared to write this by Sinach no shame that I needed to remind myself of exactly who I am and who I belong to.
Full disclosure: I sat staring into space after I wrote that last line and the timer buzzed me out of my reverie. I suppose it’s just as well, because I have no clue where this post was headed.
I’ve not traveled much by myself, but I can imagine it really is a great time to get to know yourself. I’m your neighbor at the #fmfparty. Have a blessed weekend.

Thanks for stopping by Barbie. I woke up this morning really wanting to delete this post. But I will leave it up for now. Have a blessed weekend as well.
“Travel broadens the mind” – can’t remember who said that, but it works for me. In fact, I can’t get enough of it

Agreed!
I think people who travel solo are very awesome and brave! I’m about to do it next week and I don’t feel that. I feel clumsy and apprehensive. But I do trust the one who is at he other end of my travel. I guess that makes it worth it. Knowing who trusts you enough to receive you. That is Jesus too!! Thanks for visiting me. #66.
