Each Has A Story


Blessed rain arrived in the night. Daylight has not arrived and cannot view how many more leaves fell during the night.

These images were viewed yesterday evening. The thought came to mind "they each have a story".

Our lives each have stories - many stories....

One Woman on her present journey is sharing one of her stories. Some stories from the past that arise unexpectedly in her mind "she wonder's who is that woman"?

If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live a life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours............ Henry David Thoreau

And we are all blessed by your story! And the stories of the leaves...if we stop to look at them closely and read their lines.

Laura and Cate - thank you for your kind comments. I learn so much from the two of you !!

Such pretty pictures--love the colorful towels drying on the line-they make a pretty picture in themselves. It is amazing how we can start out as one kind of woman and end up quite a different woman--through out experiences. Hurts and joys all have imprinted on the woman we are today.

Judy, thank you for visiting. Those are tattered prayer flags blowing in the wind. Hope you are having a good day :)

I was so excited for the rain. The whole town was drinking it in. My grass is greener today!

I love that quote and totally believe it. We still don't have rain. Supposedly, tomorrow. I hope so.

Beverly, like you - I almost danced in the rain in my night gown.
Judy, so sorry - maybe the rain fairy will visit tonight :)

We did get lots of rain a few weeks ago and last week and so our fall will be colorful...unlike last year when it was mostly brown and crackly!

Tabor - at the moment it is raining hard - windy - my garden is full of limbs and the leaves are falling rapidly. Thankful for the rain.
