This is one of my favourite stories of all time .
Even though it begins in a tumble dryer.
I don’t remember when Linley was tossed into life’s ferocious tumble dryer and submissively tumbled along as if the timer has been set to: indefinitely. She might not even have been tossed, but hopped right into it...all on her own.
Linley once carved toys out of wood,
was king of the hand-tennis court,
and holds the current record for sushi consumption in her neighbourhood.
There were those that called Linley a genius.
My
aunt called her an eccentric.
And
this one guy from Spain inexplicably called her "Anne."
When she was younger,
everyone thought
she
was a captivating wordsmith,
a brilliant cook,
a creative genius,
and she believed them.
But now,
as
she became a grown-up,
She wasn't so sure.
I don't know why grown-ups
don't
believe what they did when they were kids.
I mean, aren't they supposed to be smarter?
What Linley needed was the
opportunity
to prove herself
that she was something more
than
she believed.
And that opportunity
was
about to appear
And so that's how this chapter begins...
Unlikely
adventures require unlikely tools. The blog is a breathing room, a
journal for thoughts, a refreshing pool to receive support along her
journey towards living life to the full and perhaps have
the privilege to inspire others as well. If she's tumbling along
in life’s ferocious tumble-dryer it’s because she decided to be there! Her
sister has largely motivated her pursuit to making the most of
life- she captures her journey at jam4joy. Her
final acknowledgement is to her precious hubby and her muse- "may we
always delight in the apricity life has to offer".
“We
must face tomorrow, whatever it may hold, with determination, joy and bravery”
