This one time...

Grace bit her lips in apprehension as she muted the phone and scribbled something on her pad. After a final confirmation, she thanked and hung up. Paced the floor in confusion, as her hands scanned her face while tears were rolling down in unison. "I think I can do this," she muttered.

Picked up her purse, latched the door, and drove to her destination.

Wordless Wednesday #71

The above picture reminds me of, "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Nah, not that movie!

The different dimensions of life that we encounter on a daily basis.

We could define it as challenges, disputes, dares that lead to a forced ultimatum during the day. But, we survive the day and go on to see the sunrise next morning.
Phew!

The various shades of clouds in the above picture reminded me of those

Awareness of PACS1

Ever heard of PACS1?






Neither did I until I heard from my blogger friend, Kerri, who was trying to spread awareness about it cause her kid; Bridget was recently diagnosed with it. 

She is "just" the 20th child in the whole wide world to be diagnosed with it.

Reversal of roles..

On 14th of February,  St. Valentine is commemorated in the name of courtly love. Little did the Romans realize that the world will celebrate that date with grandeur and glory.

A Suitor

Darci was pacing the garden in anxiety. 



The fruit tree was bearing the crop every thirty minutes, thus making the tree lean over due to the heavy weight.



"What's happening?" she looked at it in bewilderment as she glared at its' branches and stared at the roots.
