Amazing Gracie

People tend to surprise me.  I think I know who they are.  Lots of people think they know, but they have no idea.

That quiet little woman who knits scarves and volunteers in her retirement has a whole life no one knows about.

She blows away preconceived ideas with the whisper of a breath. 

She embraces the dreams that come to her and allows them to grow.

She holds her secrets close, sharing them only with those who deserve to hear them, and lives the fairy tale others only dream of.

Her smile is not just that of a life well lived, it is the smile of a life lived now!
