stories
Stories are part of our life. They’re real. They’re imagined. But together, they create who we are. How we define ourselves. And how others define us. Stories cover the range of emotion. They invigorate all the senses. They teach. Inspire.

visit
I went to my grandmother’s home for dinner. THe visit was great as always. Her cooking is the best. I especially love her stuffed grape leaves. Her English is getting better; it’s easier to have a conversation with her now. Grandpa is another story. He is still resistant to learning new things.

whether
Whether you like it or not, shit happens. It’s not about whether it happens or not, it is about choosing how it should happen or why it should happen. Shit will come and go whether you like it or not.

fractures
I have never had a fracture before, but I can tell you now, they hurt. I was walking down the walking path hen I saw a snake in my path. Instead of going head on with the snake, I toke a detour down the hill and fell braking my leg. I was wondering how I was going to make it up the hill, when a young handsome man came to my rescue. I ld me he was a fireman and knew what he was doing.

Everything you can. Your life, your hair, your clothes, your car, your mom if she lets you, except your husband. But do not transform in reckless self-destruction.

belief
I have a belief that all children can learn. Children have an innate sense of wonder and a desire to learn. As a teacher, I need to foster children’s beliefs in themselves by providing a positive learning environment. Children need to know they can be successful.

apron
Mom’s favorite apron was red white and black plaid with white lace around. She wore it almost every day. After she died, my youngest sister took it. Now she wears the apron, reminding me of Mom every single time I see her in it.

flare
The last flare flew up from the lifeboat like a fireworks at the Fourth Of July picnic Annie had just seen off the starboard bow. The cruise ship had stopped near the coast so the passengers could enjoy the capitol’s celebration, but they got too close.

profound
deeeply thoughtful and contemplative, lookiing into the depths and ruminating on what is discovered. avoiding trivia and accruing meaning. taking inspiration from truth and seeking meaning without prejudice.

husband
My husband was a troll. No, I’m not talking about one of those creatures who lurk on the internet, spamming chat rooms and sending snarky comments. He was a real, under-bridge lurking, child scaring troll.

shepherd
I tried to shepherd the dogs into the house, out of the downpour. But once they saw the squirrel running across the yard, it was pandamonium…or should I say pugamonium.

radical
It wasn’t such a radical idea, at least I didn’t think so. I never expected the outcry when I merely suggested that house pests be treated with respect.

mutual
Their mutual love affair came to an abrupt end when she discovered he really didn’t love her just her cooking. She realized if she stopped cooking, he’d stop staying. She wondered whether their mutual love of her cooking, her love of cooking, his love of eating her cooking was enough to sustain their love.

compassion
Compassion is a wonderful trait in a person, Maura thought as she stood beside the middle aged woman who wailed as she grabbed her dead mother’s hand. Too bad I don’t have any right now.
