Why Were You Born?

I received postcard this week, via Postcrossing, from Juliya in Russia. She shared a quote which has been attributed to Mark Twain:

 

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

Writing prompt:

• What do you know about the day you were born? Were you told anything about what happened? Was it an important day? Write about your birth. If you know nothing of the circumstances, set your imagination free and make it up!
• Why you were born? Set a timer and write for seven minutes.
