Another year has come and gone. Nothing is what it was and everything is eerily the same. Lacey looked out her kitchen window at the plot where she had found herself. Not knowing at the time how important the sprouting of seeds could be. How important it would become to take care of those things she had so lovingly planted. She had made mistakes that first year learning from each and every one. She had gotten better and more sure of herself. Today the plot was nothing but dirt. The house had become empty walls. She was finally ready to move on. To leave behind the ugly memories, holding onto the ones that still warmed her heart. The ones that taught her nothing is impossible as long as you don’t mind getting a little dirty in order to unearth the trueness of yourself. She looked around at those walls that had held her, contained her for so long. The walls that had breathed with her weeping every time life had let her down. She is satisfied they no longer sustain her. As she steps into the morning she speaks with eyes her love for what those walls gave when she had needed it most. As she grabbed her beloved camera, She knew, without a doubt, She was ready. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

"She was finally ready to move on. To leave behind the ugly memories, holding onto the ones that still warmed her heart. The ones that taught her nothing is impossible as long as you don’t mind getting a little dirty in order to unearth the trueness of yourself." I really enjoyed this, this morning. Makes me feel like I'm not so alone. |

Yes, and four walls can be a thing of beauty or a jail. It is always up to the person within. martyjo |

"She was finally ready to move on. To leave behind the ugly memories, holding onto the ones that still warmed her heart." I'll say "Amen" to that! "Lacey" is sprouting just like the seeds that she planted!  A fine write, Susan!  Linda |

"Today the plot was nothing but dirt." What??? Ya killed 'em already???  "As she grabbed her beloved camera, She knew, without a doubt, She was ready." I truly hope this isn't the end of the series. So, what does Lacy photograph? Next..... |
