A fisherman found a pocket watch that ticked perfectly with the waves. When it opened, the sea calmed; when it closed, storms brewed. Instead of using it for control, he protected it, fearing misuse. Years later, during a catastrophic hurricane, he opened the watch and held it high. The sea froze mid-wave, suspended like glass. Villagers evacuated safely. When he closed the watch again, the waves gently resumed. The fisherman vanished that night, many saying he had become the new guardian of ocean-time.

The Painter of Lost Mornings
A reclusive painter had the ability to capture mornings no one remembered—sunrises missed due to sorrow, sleep, or despair. He painted warm skies, dew-kissed grass, and birds frozen mid-song, then delivered the paintings anonymously to the people who had lost those moments. One day, he realized he himself had no memories left—he had given them all away. A child found him sitting before a blank canvas and handed him one of his own paintings. “You should have a morning too,” she said. The painter wept as the colors returned to his heart.

Giving all you got from living that you do mean what?
When you look at your life and how you live it what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think about what you can offer your life or what your life can offer you? If you think of both of these things, do you give your life all that you got while you live it the way that you want to live it? Most people’s answer to this question is yes they do, or they wouldn’t be living the way that they are. When you give your life all you got, what is it that you are doing. Well you are living by making money, and doing hobbies of course, if you didn’t do hobbies in your life then you wouldn’t be living and what type of life is that? It isn’t a life, or at least that isn’t what I think that a life is if you don’t actually have hobbies in it and love the hobbies that you do. When you do the hobbies you enjoy, in life while living the life you want, you are getting so much more out of it. For example, if you like to garden or be outside as a hobby the summer is a great time to do that. You can go outside, do your gardening, and hang out in your backyard oasis if you have one. If you don’t have a backyard oasis you can make one as one of your summer hobbies for the rest of the summer that the world still has in your area right now. If it is summer how cool is that?
