Well Intended Gifts
Years ago. my husband bought me a set of golf clubs for my birthday. I had no idea I wanted to learn how to golf, but there I was looking at a glimmering new set for my birthday. What does one say when say when you receive a gift that is far from the "that fits me perfectly" gift. He smiled and said, "Now we can play golf and spend more time with each other."

Echoes of Canvas Dreams
In the middle of a buzzing city, there lived a girl whose name was Eliza and whose soul was the music of the colorful strokes of art. Enriching colors of passion adorned her days as she walked through rooms of art and melded with the stories that each brush stoke left behind. Art was her all, her everything, and the stage where her dreams were painted.

The Artist
It was a calm sorta day in the art district that lay in the downtown of the city. Everyone was out in the streets and the sound of chatter danced in the air. The sun was up finally sparkling in the sky after a long gloomy winter and a gentle breeze floated through the air. The smell of fresh paint was floating around the streets and drifting slowly into people's minds. It was the perfect calm in the storm of life.
