Walter the wine waiter fell upside down off the shelf.
Today, I hoped to work a little more on organising my teddy stories. Then unexpectedly I came again to Walter’s story about his fall from the shelf and why it happened. It made me chuckle and be grateful that I have now compiled ALL stories onto one manuscript.
One day now I believe I will be able to have perhaps five small books where each little bear will have his picture and the story.
If you are reading this and you feel ‘Upside Down’ in events swirling around you,,,,,,Maybe even us humans could gain a life lesson from poor little Walter. Accepting help and saying sorry for our mistakes can return us too to the upright.
Walter found HOPE by acceptance of his unusual costume. In his heart a loving little teddy bear not what ‘others’ expected him to be.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
