The power of a good book

Where is Rose today?

Well, she is aware that this can change at any moment. That dreams can be shattered in an instant. Who was it that said "Anything can happen in the next half hour!?

Knowing this, she is still in a positive frame of mind. There is currently a path that she and her family can go down. At this point in time it is still achievable. She will revel in it, make plans. Imagine how things could be. Setting herself up for a fall......possibly. But isn't that better than expecting it to all go belly up from the beginning!

So yes, today there are possibilities...........

On another note, her mind has quietened enough to go back to one of her favourite pursuits. Reading. Most of her life she has lived within the realms of the written word. It makes her feel alive. The people, the places. She is blessed with a vivid imagination, it all becomes real. Sometimes it continues when the book isn't open. After the book has come to an end. Rose is able to make the story go on ........ only this time she is one of the characters, a new one that the author hadn't thought of. Childhood games brought through to adulthood. But don't they just have more depth at this age.......
