Hello my lovely rays of sunshine, here’s a short tale to start your week with a warm embrace full of promise and adventure!

Timmy was starting to lose feeling in his body. The air was cold and brisk, he was starting to lose of finding warmth and shelter for the night. Just ahead Jimmy saw there was at crossroads in the path. He stopped to read the signs one, in particular, caught his eye, it read, “Warmth to all who that travel this way, just follow the signs, they’ll lead the way!”
Fueled with fresh motivation Jimmy set off following the signs along the winding pathway. Jimmy’s mind gravitated toward the welcoming thought of warmth and comfort. Reaching the end of the winding path, he was suddenly, face to face with a looming brick wall that appeared to go on for days with a door that read, “For warmth enter here!”
Opening the door Jimmy didn’t expect to find a magical portal to a beautiful tropical island. Jimmy stood still for several moments in utter awe as the air greeted him like a warm welcoming hug. As he stood taking in the majestic view, his heart fluttered excitedly filled to the brim with delight submersed in an overwhelming curiosity. Overflowing with curiosity he entered the tropical paradise eager to go exploring.
Here’s to a week that greets you like a warm embrace that fills you with excitement and the promise of opportunities all around you!
oh you have written this perfectly – the child’d innocence a perfect backdrop to finding warmth so trustingly – wonderful!
This story popped into my head last week when Helene first posted the image, however, silly me kept forgetting the story jotted down on scrap paper in my car. I finally remembered to bring it up tonight. π
Thank you Gina, I’m so happy the sweet innocence and curiosity shine through! π β€οΈ
it did very much – beautiful writing!
π Thank you Gina, maybe we’ll have to take Jimmy on some more adventures! π
Yes! I agree.
Thank you Carly!π β€οΈ
You are welcome. β€οΈ
Oh, I really need this warmth and welcoming into sunshine. Thank you for a charming story Jenna. Definitely a good positive motivational start for πβ€the week.
I’m glad I finally got to type up the story that’s been warming up my car for me! π
I’m glad I can bring some warmth with this adorable image! π β€οΈ Try to stay warm in the week ahead!β€οΈ
Thank you Jenna.
You’re welcome Helene. π
So, next chapter? Loved it.
I’m so happy to hear that! π …that can always be arranged…maybe we need to see what sort of adventures Jimmy’s natural curiosity finds! π β€οΈ
Yes π go for it.
π β€οΈ
Thatβs a lovely read! Enchanting as always. πβ€οΈπΉ
π Enchanting should be my middle name! π (hehe just kidding) I’m playing around with the idea of writing an illustrated book of enchanting short stories and poems.
Hehe! Your words are truly enchanting! You should go for it because youβre really good. πβ€οΈ
Thank you Winnie! Hmm the race to see which is finished first …novel or anthology of poems and stories. π β€οΈ
Youβre welcome, Jenna! πβ€οΈ Iβm sure youβll rock whatever you decide to prioritize. You have an ongoing novel. π Me, I havenβt started the first draft lol.
Lol π getting started is sometimes the hardest part., or at least that’s what they say.π I got started on the novel originally a few years ago..and I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go with it…then one day last year I got inspired and it’s been flowing here and there coming together in my mind. But whatever you write will be amazing, you’re a very talented writer!π π€β€οΈ
Awww! Thank you for that encouragement, Jenna! β€οΈ I have been lazy lately because I was always surrounded by friends and family. Too much distraction perhaps.
My pleasure!π β€οΈ Understandable I think time with friends and family is wonderful but then we need some alone time rest and recharge our batteries.π
So very true! I had a relaxing day today. Have a great day, Jenna! Drive safe. πβ€οΈπΉ
Awww thank you Winnie, I will definitely do that!π β€οΈ
Youβre welcome, Jenna! πβ€οΈ
