Yesterday was a mixture of conflicting emotions. There was a great blending of sadness (not personal) but around in the lives of others. There was also unexpected beauty and hope. Last night a video we had hired turned out to be sensitive and profound it touched a chord. There is a real truth in the statement – Whatsoever things are beautiful, lovely and of good report – focus on THESE. Phil.v4.
My thought on up getting up was clear……. I will this day write on this page something encouraging. The picture above was taken on holidays. It speaks to me about life’s circumstances and our response. Always look for the window and focus on what ‘Out there’ may be better, more beautiful and bring joy back into what is surrounds us.
Enjoy your day. Make it a good one and beautiful to remember.

About Faye
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
