Ermilia’s Picture it & write (Sunday 2 Feb 2014)
Here is my offering to ‘Picture it & write’ hosted by Ermilia (Ermisenda and Eliabeth) who invite others to join them by writing a fictional story or poem to accompany an image presented on their blog.

It had been a hard week; there had been such trouble brewing.
She’d not known such problems before. Confrontation and loss were not nice company; and yet, she couldn’t help but think it would all turn out okay.
_____
She hadn’t always been an optimist, and yet today she felt the stirrings of rest. Indeed, the stirrings of rest and peace were slowly growing within her. They began as a tickle, and then a burst of joy encapsulated her thoughts.
Could it be possible? Would those stirrings bring the much needed peace for her?
She didn’t know. She wasn’t sure. And yet, there they were.
_____
A hope. Yes, just a hope – one filled with much promise.

She is close to something revealing, and I’m hoping the stirrings will bring peace. _Resa xoxo
Oh, it definitely sounds like it, Resa… I hope so too… 🙂
Wonderful to see you… xoxoxo
Your writing is wonderful, and in the front row here. I didn’t want to burst out with “Oh Carolyn! Oh Carolyn off the top, and distract from that fact. 🙂
Now that we’re here …. “Oh Carolyn, oh Carolyn it’s so wonderful to see you, too! xoxoxoxo
You make my little heart sing, Resa…. 🙂
Something very special about you… I think we’ll always have that connection.. 🙂
xoxoxo
Yeah, xoxoxo! 🙂 🙂
Boom! Back with a mind blowing story. It is so nice to see your writing and you!!
And you, Kim….! 🙂
What a lovely new pic of you. Love your hair, too… 🙂
Welcome back! And you came back with such gusto…love it! 🙂
Hi LuAnn, so good to see you…! 😉
Love this — such mystery and anticipation.
Like finding you here again after a long spell away. Delightful and restorative.
Thank You so much, Louise; it’s delightful to see your lovely face…
This is a piece that is easy to relate to. Since you focus on the feeling of hope and uncertainty, you don’t specify the problem. Anyone can fit themselves straight in. Lovely writing. It’s great to see you again, Carolyn!

So nice to see you back, Carolyn. I loved that your story ended in hope. I send greetings to cool you down in case it’s too warm where you are today. Here in Wisconsin, it’s 10 degrees below zero at the moment, Farenheit (-23 Celsius). Brrr. Thankfully, the furnace works well. We’re looking forward to signs of spring here!!
It’s lovely to be back, Lori – and Thank You, that cool breeze is very welcome. I am looking forward to Autumn and temps of a more pleasant appeal – current temps up to 100 Fahrenheit make a girl awfully warm.
Brrr. I shudder at the thought of 10 degrees below zero; I may have to rethink my priorities, after all… 😉
Carolyn, welcome back:) This story connects so well with the photo:)
Thank You, Padmini… so lovely to see your comment and welcome… 🙂
Great to see you back! What an amazing story!
Wow, that’s a great comment… 😉
Good to see you… 🙂
may her wishes come true!
This comment is what I would expect from a treasure such as you, Sharmishtha..
xoxoxo
I think you touched a universal feeling . . . . good job!
Thank You… and welcome..!
Beautiful!
Thank You, Susan…
I remain the eternal optimist…! 🙂
