For visually challenged writers, the image shows a solitary figure on a beach against a wide ocean.
Small choices.
Not long he’d said, I did ask if he could be more specific. He was very nice about it but just couldn’t say. Months, weeks or days…he didn’t mention years.
I really don’t know why I am writing this down, there is no one to read it.
I don’t feel sad, how could I, the sea looks so beautiful with sun glinting on it. This beach is so peaceful, it’s warm and safe.
God, I am so tired, I need to sleep, I wonder if I should wake up again.
It’s funny I am not in any pain… I wonder if it will stay like that. No I am not afraid , well a little, maybe.
Oh! Hello dog, your beautiful, are you on your own?
No it’s okay she’s no bother I love dogs. No I don’t live here …
Pardon? Me, yes I would love a coffee, thank you. There’s a café over there that welcomes dogs……

The sounds of the ocean indeed creates many thoughts doesn’t it? Lulls you to want to sleep but won’t let your mind rest. 🙂

It’s one of the sounds I love most 💜

One of my favorite photos.

It’s a beauty isn’t it 💜

Nice story. Dogs are such good companions……… and ice breakers.
Dec 03, 2020 @ 14:18:20
Yes and life savers too

Most definitely. A friend gave me a plaque that said I don’t need therapy, I’ve got a dog! I’m glad our friends let me share theirs in the fuss stakes.
Dec 03, 2020 @ 18:01:14
Yes indeed 💜

Such a happy, sweet ending to this narrative, Willow. I found it uplifting. ❤❤

Thank you Betty , I wanted to do something uplifting 💜💜💜

How’re you doing, Willow? I hope you’re feeling better. ❤
Dec 03, 2020 @ 23:21:49
Not really as well as I was hoping. In some pain and feeling nauseous but should be improving in six weeks 💜
Dec 04, 2020 @ 00:21:06
Hopefully things will get better from week to week. I remember from having major surgery years ago it was gradual. Eventually more and more good days. I wish you a speedy recovery, my friend. 💗💗
Dec 04, 2020 @ 00:34:11
Thank you Betty I know you are right💜💜
Dec 03, 2020 @ 23:22:04
How are you all doing 💜
Dec 04, 2020 @ 00:22:08
We’re doing all right here, thanks for asking. 🙂❤
Dec 04, 2020 @ 00:34:46
Excellent, glad to hear that💜💜
Dec 04, 2020 @ 00:59:25
I could so be having that same set of thoughts…
Dec 04, 2020 @ 07:52:12
I think a lot of us could, it’s strange times we live in, we all need hope or a dog 💜
Dec 04, 2020 @ 10:23:03
That’s true! 🧡
