Autumn in Canada, where most people think only polar bears live...
Simmy was working on her dream and she was settled, in her heart.
Sometimes, when life has been just plain difficult for most of your life, you just need to get settled, in your heart.
She had been writing and writing and writing and telling her life... she peeked out the window just before she went to bed and spotted her roller blades sitting at the bottom of the stairs. She shook her head, ready to berate herself for 'not being perfect,' but she was, most assuredly, tired of berating herself. Shouldn't she be able to give herself a break seeing as she had been concerned about turning on the oven so the homemade sandwich bread would be done perfectly for the men in her life, her husband and sons. She had the thought, earlier in the afternoon, that she should spoil them today and make them the sandwich bread."They'll love that," she thought, with a smile.
So, after trying to do a few simple things for a young man in Boston, she had gone outside to ponder the meaning of all the possibilities of even doing this for the company. Well, it wasn't for the nominal gift. It was more for a 'Collins' need to know. Yes! She was likely one of those people.
"I just need to know," she thought.
The phone had awakened her after another restless night. She'd answered and her girlfriend, since grade 7, had informed her of a contest on the radio. The winner would get $10,000. Simmy joined the other hopefuls but she didn't win the money. It sure would have helped as business hadn't really taken off this year yet and she really wanted to pay for her sons' wedding this coming summer.
"Don't lose sight of the dream," she whispered encouragement to herself.
