This week's Six Sentence Story prompt caught me in a reflective state of mind. With a birthday that ends in a "0" sneaking up on me in a few days, I guess that is to be expected. And so, here are 5 sentences reflecting the past seasons, and one for all the future seasons:
The curly-haired, blue-jacketed girl follows the majestic collie down the lane.
A different lane leads to a new home.
Before you know it, the girl marries and has children of her own.
Addresses change, children grow, memories develop, and love works.
The children leave the nest, and the curly-haired girl becomes a grandma.
The rest of the story remains to be seen.
Thanks for the seasons of life.

Thank you! I enjoyed your piece very much.
DeleteSo beautiful to share the seasons of your life. Those birthdays with the 0's at the end have a way of sending our thoughts back over the preceding ones. Your photos fill me with love.
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember turning 10, and how I felt so old, because I could count my life in decades. (Well, in one decade.)
DeleteHappy Birthday Kristi! Age is just a number and you do have a wonderful life! Hope you have many more years of happiness yet to come.
