Fairy Tale

So I received a request today about posting a certain type of entry - and I want to take it seriously, but it's going to be very very hard for me.

I was asked to write a fairy tale with a happy ending.

Seems easy enough right? Well, for me, it isn't. For some reason, my mind just never wants to work in that 'realm.' I've tried before, trust me. Almost every single time, I fall flat on my face, create a shallow and drastically empty shell of a story, or give up even before anything is put into words.

Since I received this request earlier in the day, I have been thinking about what to write - a story I could run with and still, right now, I have nothing.

Ok, saying I have nothing is a little drastic, I have a few ideas that hopefully will mature into something soon.

So I apologize for failing, but something is percolating inside of me - hopefully it'll froth up soon and I can throw it into a posting.

But until then - just remember that in fairytales, everything works out for the people with a good heart (in this case, that'd be you...you know who you are).

Just remember everything will be fine.


And yes - until my story constructs itself, here is a little Celtic blessing to help you on your journey:

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
