A lovely story with an amazing photo.

I like the intriguing new photo prompt, too. The newspaper overlain on the coffeehouse. I got an instant idea!Thanks

Great story to start my morning! And I'm absolutely loving the images as prompts for "Fifties". This one already has me wanting to sit down and write.

This story is wonderful. It says so much. And it means to me that her classmates are shallow indeed, only accepting her when she flies. Who she is has not changed. Deep story, Justin.

This story reminded me of my favorite picture book when I was a kid, "Leo the Late Bloomer." It's about a young Tiger who doesn't fit in because he can't read, draw, or write as well as his friends. Sometimes we just need time to work her magic so we can blossom. Thanks for this story this morning!
