Her breath exited her mouth in big puffs as if she were smoking a cigarette.

The
morning dew had made her clothes damp and she shivered from the chill in the air.
There was only one thing that could get her up and out this early in the morning.
Greg understood that this situation would make Michael terribly uncomfortable.
Michael simply had no idea what was about to come and even though Greg could
prevent it from happening, he opted to let it happen. It was quite ironic, really.
It was something Greg had said he would never wish upon anyone a million times, yet
here he was knowingly letting it happen to one of his best friends. He rationalized
that it would ultimately make Michael a better person and that no matter how
uncomfortable, everyone should experience racism at least once in their lifetime.
It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make money (beyond
getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education system. The truth is there are a lot
of different, legitimate ways to make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and
that you won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if you're
willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck in an office from 9 to 5
for the next fifty years o your life.
I love the feel of wood curls flying off the lathe as I begin to shape the log in
front of me. The sound of scraping changes based on the wetness of the wood, the
speed at which the lathe is turning, and the type of cut I am making. The smell and
feel of wet wood being turned are unique. The water is sprayed out as I cut through
the different layers of wood. A log can turn into anything one's imagination can
think of with the right set of hands-on tools. I have those hands and imagination.
I use all of my senses and intuition to create a beautiful object. That is why I
enjoy turning wood.
He wondered if he should disclose the truth to his friends. It would be a risky
move. Yes, the truth would make things a lot easier if they all stayed on the same
page, but the truth might fracture the group leaving everything in even more of a
mess than it was not telling the truth. It was time to decide which way to go.
Life isn't always beautiful. That was a lesson that Dan was learning. He also
realized that life wasn't easy. This had come as a shock since he had lived a
charmed life. He hated that this was the truth and he struggled to be happy knowing
that his assumptions weren't correct. He wouldn't realize until much later in life
that the difficult obstacles he was facing that were taking away the beauty in his
life at this moment would ultimately make his life much more beautiful. All he knew
was that at this moment was that life isn't always beautiful.
Many people say that life isn't like a bed of roses. I beg to differ. I think that
life is quite like a bed of roses. Just like life, a bed of roses looks pretty on
the outside, but when you're in it, you find that it is nothing but thorns and
pain. I myself have been pricked quite badly.
The kids were loud. They were way too loud for Jerry, especially since this was a
four-hour flight. The parents didn't seem to be able, or simply didn't want, to
control them. They were yelling and fighting among themselves and it was impossible
for any of the passengers to concentrate or rest. He thought about politely tapping
on the parents' shoulders and asking them to try and get their kids under a bit
more control, but before he did he came up with a better idea. Sure, it was a bit
sinister, and he'd probably end p in a lot of trouble, but he really didn't care at
that point.
