Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers
Week of 11-22 through 11-28-2016
This week’s photo prompt is provided by Footy and Foodie. Thank you Footy and Foodie!
DECISIONS
Most of my inspiration often comes to me when I take time out for a long stroll outside.
It was late in the day when I stepped out on the porch. The sky looked absolutely awe-inspiring!
I immediately felt a sense of calm. I began to think about the past and my future. I remembered the various decisions I had made and know I am where I am today because of them.
My ability to make the right decisions all the time is not possible, however, I know I have the ability to make my wrong decisions right.
I acted hastily when I reprimanded Logan today.
My sense of fairness was not considered, therefore, I know I must apologize and make things right again.
It was not the action that took control, it was my reaction to the action.
