Breathe........A Morning Quickie (48 hrs)



Let this quote inspire you:



"Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart.”

~Anais Nin



It touched me this morning remining me of my dear friend, Jazzy (Jasminerose) who when I am upset, always has to remind me to first of all...

BREATHE....


So this contest is dedicated to you, Jazzy.....




ALthough it is a quickie, I am only limiting the time (48 hrs)
the length, form and substance is up to you.
I adore unique use of imagery, alliteration, metaphor and especially emotion...



Have fun and BREATHE!



Lynda
