Bench.

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

Might seem a little lame, but I’ve been sitting on this prompt all morning, not sure what to write about—which hasn’t happened. I can’t remember having writer’s block since I started. Usually it just… happens.

If I’m going to have something named after me, it’s not going to be anything extra like a building or baseball field (even though the baseball field would be pretty sick). I just want something simple… like a bench.

A little bench under a weeping willow tree, next to a pond with lily pads and frogs. Somewhere people sit with their kids, their loved ones, read a book, scroll a blog… maybe even have a hot cup of whatever… or just a place to wine-d down after a long day.

A place to sit for a minute. A place to let thoughts catch up. A place where nothing is being asked.

    That’s a really good idea. It never occurred to me but I don’t sit down when I’m out so I don’t even think about benches!

      I never thought about benches either… until I needed one. Now they feel a little underrated. 😂

    Doesn’t sound lame at all…sounds like a beautiful spot under a willow tree. 🙂

      Not gonna lie, I’m picturing it so clearly I kind of want to go sit there right now.

        There’s hundreds of little benches like that up here in Minnesota. Right next to a lake or stream is the ideal spot for me. Maybe this bench exists next to a campfire…that is fully stocked with s’mores!
