Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for laughter, for joy in every moment, for the trials given to me because they have strengthened my faith. I am thankful to family, for the passionate way they support, encourage and endure me. I am thankful for words, for imagination and worlds yet created, for they connect us, free us, make us complete. I am thankful for friendships near and far, past and present. I am thankful for freedom that is never truly free and I am especially thankful for what is to come, for the evermore, and the promise it brings. May your days be blessed...know that you are all in my heart.

Painting Stories #13

What I got:

That night, the winds were ceaseless, cruel. Like the quick slaps of a thunderstruck wave, it hedged forward, onward until she is consumed by its power. It is relentless, like him, like his lust, his power and she can bear neither.
