Text of the page (random words):
t there in quiet contemplation sipping the black aromatic coffee the smell re energising as much as drinking the liquid did this this is what made her life beautiful back to reality and the hurt from the deceit the secrecy but hey ho life threw you the bends in the road potholes to navigate she would not fall through them again she d come so far even leaving her family to live on the other side of the world ha family such a dysfunctional lot of self centred egotistic manipulative women somehow they snagged men who believed in them believed every lie that came out of their mouths stop it jorja just stop it telling herself off seemed to help she couldn t change what had happened she couldn t change what people thought she could only move on help where she could and she would help she would hold the hurt deep inside but she would help two weeks later and now she really understood that life truly was beautiful the new born grandson was a joy to behold he was just gorgeous she didn t know her heart could expand to take in a love for the new baby as well as encompassing the love she already felt for her granddaughter life is beautiful a new home for her and her husband a new baby a new life to enjoy to watch grow to nurture to love her family was expanding thanks to the benefits of technology she could share her joy with friends and family pictures face time skype zoom and all the other benefits this technological revolution has brought into their lives so much quicker than six weeks waiting for an air mail letter or hard copy photos yes life is beautiful when you allow it to be a baby boy as easy as pie new born blue eyes all knowing all seeing born wise born before dawn with a mighty yawn a stretch of his fingers long limbs gangly murmurs and baby sounds she held him against her chest feeling less stressed by the minute heart beat to heart beat rhythmic tick tick tick joining in unison with her beautiful grandson life is beautiful life is full of joy you just have to watch for the moments drink them in treasure them remember them and pull them out when the going gets tough she has to move forward let her daughter and little family enjoy themselves and grow as a unit no interference she would not interfere she has learnt from her own lessons from her own mother what is not the right way jorja s way is different there to help but not interfere that will be her mantra do not interfere and then life will be beautiful for everybody word count 977 posted by sally at 07 10 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 17 february 2023 starting 2023 theme with the year of the movies our first challenge is gone with the wind i would like to thank the wep team for all their hard work behind the scenes to come up with such brilliant themes overcoming personal challenges to keep wep a success here is my contribution to our first challenge of 2023 tagline the world is changing the return fly my beauty fly on the thermals spread your wings soar high swoop and feed in flight come back to me my beauty speed back with the wind in your feathers land on my wrist bring your message as i praise your effort you reward me with sounds of joy run my beauty the wind blowing at your rear taking me to our destination slow your place beauty i ll give you your head take me far and wide scout the locations find the oasis in the desert the palm fronds wafting in the wind gone with the dust of the sand we will run further akram akram was tired so very tired he d been travelling for four months trading with many people swapping stories finding out the world news some of it quite frightening he wasn t sure how safe life was going to be in the future his loyal companions had picked him up when he was homesick and feeling down as he did the same with them together they made a brilliant team whether they were selling buying importing or exporting always having each other s backs not everything went smoothly on this trip unfortunately some fighting had been involved and he had a few scars to prove it he wasn t looking forward to explaining that when he returned home to ariana a cry went up from the lead horseman who pointed in to the distance akram followed the direction of the finger there there was the first glistening dome if he squinted he could make out the spires of the beautiful palace as they entered triumphantly through the city gates marvelling again at the brick structures built by the ancients of old he felt euphoric but also slightly edgy he looked around and could see slight signs of neglect the maintenance of the buildings was not up to his standard how could it have deteriorated within the few months they had been absent the stench became overpowering drains were overflowing refuse was piled up in the streets horse dung and other animal droppings added to the smell he would certainly be calling the council the first opportunity he had first though the major thought in his head was to greet ariana and his son she would have to wait a little while he could see her through the upstairs window looking down at him from their bedroom chamber she smiled at him he could feel her love and patience emanating through the air she understood he must tend to his horse first then himself before he would be able to greet her properly she would not want to kiss him with the odour of travelling that had seeped in to the fabric of the cloth he was wearing he would also bathe but quickly there would be time for luxury wallowing in hot water the next day akram bounded up the stone stairs he stopped outside the door to their quarters he was suddenly nervous a grown man like him strong powerful mighty the leader of the city a respected businessman and the thought of greeting his wife had stopped him in his tracks swallowing the lump in his throat smoothing his hands down his tunic he gathered his courage and opened the door ariana turned slowly as he entered her eyes took him in she drank the very essence of him he could feel the love pouring out of her heart and in to his as he looked he could see the perfect roundness of her tummy full of child her figure encompassing their passion a couple of deep brown eyes peeked out from behind her skirts eyad my boy akram knelt down as eyad rushed to his father and fell in to his embrace he picked his son up and moved to ariana using his other arm he gathered her to him breathed a huge sigh of relief as they stood foreheads together two united plus one and one waiting as their love for each other and their small but growing family emanated from them ariana he was back he was back but for how long this time oh she understood his work she understood the toll his leadership took on him she understood she was his haven his oasis his rock his safe space she understood her job was to keep him happy to look after their children to bear more children as and when they were fortunate enough to have more she understood the world was changing she understood there were wars to fight diplomacy to negotiate horrendous acts of violation against races genders creeds too many to mention she understood being a woman with her man not everybody understood their way of life she was the power behind the leader never seen to demean him in public a smiling beautiful face with their lovely family in their bedchamber they would discuss all aspects of their lives her perspective gave him new outlooks on ways to approach others he was always grateful to her for her guidance and wisdom she knew she had what others might call second sight visions the problem was knowing a timeframe ariana sighed and snuggled closer to akram she felt his arms encompass her as their love for each deepened became overwhelming at times abdalhadi abdalhadi knew the time had come he had to take akram away from home again they must journey far and wide to remain neutral or take sides to preserve their lands travelling through the dust and sand a fortune to be made or lost word count 931 posted by sally at 03 26 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 13 december 2022 the first time i saw your face wep dec 2022 this is our last challenge for 2022 what a year it s been here is my entry the first time ever i saw your face come on let s go down to the fence i didn t want to get in to trouble never had and hopefully never would but somehow i was pulled to the fence separating my girls only school with the boys only school whose grounds were far down the edge of the school perimeter kept apart by the chain link fence i tagged along with the other three girls mary susan and beth as we quickened our steps trying to act cool at 15 years old and not look too eager to chat to some boys a gaggle of spotty long haired boys acne appearing on some whiskers sprouting on others the beginning of a moustache on others were already hanging around in the dip of the slight hill we were hidden from view of the school we hoped the teachers rest room was on the other side of the building so we felt relatively safe from their prying eyes there he was my stomach flipped my throat was dry and i wished i had slicked a smear of vaseline over my lips it was supposed to look sexy according to mary mary who came to school with subtle eyeshadow darkened eye lids flawless skin no breakout of spots for her at certain times of the month she also wore dangling earrings not the standard allowable gold studs that all the other girls wore a bit of a rebel was our mary blonde curls green eyes not very tall perhaps but it was difficult to tell with us standing in a dip and the boys posing on the other side on slightly higher ground then he spoke all these years later i can t remember what words were spoken but his image burned in to my brain from behind my retinas oh my a deep voice a sexy voice a noticeable adam s apple not prominent but manly my mind said stop fidgeting stand still uncross your arms from your breasts take a deep breath and stick them out a bit more whilst holding in a non existent tummy my skirt was already turned up at the waist band only once but it was enough to bring the hem up and over my knees by a good inch or so then we heard the pips go summoning us back to class we dashed by to our respective rooms tummies rumbling as we hadn t had chance to eat our lunches how on earth was i supposed to concentrate on maths not my best subject anyway when all i could think about was his face i dreamt of him that night friday night saturday night sunday night without seeing him monday came as i waited for lunch break thoughts of our clandestine meetings were interrupting my concentration on french grammar us girls and those boys i was only interested in the one boy the other faces paled in to insignificance the week flew by i lost more weight by using up lunch time space to visit gradually over the weeks my friends lost interest in the boys and played netball in the lunch time not me i had to keep seeing his face six weeks of summer holidays home with my mother and brother dad was away on board ship for 18 months some already passed letters received once a month from this strange man on flimsy airmail letter papers i got a job working as a saturday girl in the local village shop that filled in a good 12 hours once a week somehow the weeks and days flew by then i was back travelling to school every day i sat on the coach trying to calm myself would he be there at lunch time would he remember me would he look the same my hair was freshly washed i pinched some of mum s perfume and had dabbed a small amount at the base of my neck and on both wrists every now and then i would take a surreptitious sniff feeling slightly guilty that i d stolen from my mother but hopefully it would be worth it lunch time came i asked my friends if they were going to wander down to the edge of the field at lunchtime they laughed at me what on earth for was the surprised response it seems they d all forgotten our trysts with the boys but then one of them said they built a brick wall down there you won t be able to see anything or anybody disappointment coursed through my body it was all i could do to smile and say never mind shall we play netball instead i jumped around half heartedly and still managed to defend my position and stop several attempted scores from the opposing team i arrived home in the evening ate my meal and disappeared in to the dining room to start my homework i found it very hard to concentrate and to keep up a pretence that everything was ok although in my family it seemed as though nobody took any notice of me anyway all these years later i still remember the feeling the image of a face not the details apart from the hair and the eyes i ve always had a thing for eyes the gateway to the soul or the locked door hiding a myriad of secrets that feeling that first crush innocent as it was then has stayed with me on and off throughout my life sometimes i wonder what happened to that young man did he make something of himself did he find true love with somebody was he a good father maybe he went against the law and ended up in prison that wouldn t have surprised me either i will never know but to this day the first time i saw his face will remain with me imprinted in my brain subject to an abstract scrapbook of nostalgic images filed away as a private memory never to be sullied or dirtied in any way as i don t know anything about him i can t even remember his name posted by sally at 02 35 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 21 october 2022 wep october 2022 waiting here is my entry for the wep october 2022 challenge waiting she waits wistfully at the window wondering if he will be a no show ready and willing for his caress in her lacy gossamer thin dress a draught plucks at her alluring beauty drawing her heart strings tightly she reads a text message just received five minutes darling her breast heaves as she waits to see the glare of headlights through the country lane like two penlights she waits with bated breath her pulses throbbing every fibre of her being aching his key turned in the door he would satisfy her amour cherishing their love affair tonight they would
