Her new shiny shoes made her feel special
like the little girl she used to be in her Sunday best!
The blue glow at the base of the coffee bar made her feel even magical.
She wondered if anyone was noticing her shoes.
Well, I think I was - and they made me feel a little magical too!
Just looking at his hands gave her a thrill ...
She'd always been attracted to beautiful hands.
He wished she would take off her sunglasses
to see the message her eyes were sending him.
A crowded terrace, but they felt totally alone in their togetherness.
Retirement
She had recently retired.
What on earth does that mean?
She felt even more vibrant than before
she had more time to nourish her passions!
Passion!
What a wonderful word.
She felt a whole new world was within reach.
Each new
day opened up a myriad of possibilities. The very thought made her feel quite
giddy. She closed her eyes a minute to savour the excited tingling throughout
her whole body.
What first?
Well, she could read more and not feel guilty about frittering her time away.
Yes, let's start with that!
She sat on the sofa facing the window, running her
hand over the cover of a new book. Preparing herself, through the
illustration, to get the feeling of the story that was about to unfold.
The world
is my oyster, she said, and I'm the pearl!

Have you
ever thought what fun it is to contemplate an image and imagine the story
behind?
Each image,
each story is so intricately part of who we are. I love just giving part of a story,
a mere slice, so that
all who read may be swept into something that maybe resonates with them where
they can also find a part of themselves and be touched.
