Good Wednesday morning, my peeps! The sun is not yet up, the skies are grey and spilling over with rain but hey, we’re here, right? Well, I am fully present and taking in Jen Pendergast’s lovely image, chosen by our Fictioneer-in-Chief, Rochelle. Now how will it inspire? If you wish to play along, or simply desire to read how this picture inspired others, just click on my frog below and you will hop over to the “Hollywood Squares of FF”. G’head, it’s fun!
Louisa looked up at the ceiling, the beautiful arches and colourful stained glass windows and felt her emotions well up inside her, pushing their way to her eyes, filling them with tears that threatened to spill out. She could fully understand the movie character Georgia, in Last Holiday, when she said to the front desk person at the hotel: “Doesn’t that ceiling just make you want to cry?” And like too many people, she never stopped to really look, take in, and appreciate her surroundings. Why did we (often) need a traumatic experience to open our eyes and appreciate life?
