I went back and realized I had missed this one. Probably the hectic nature of the holidays.

We spent Christmas in a different state and I was quite frazzled.

Fantastic character names and a wonderful adventure, indeed. ( Liked the swan)

    Thanks, Doug. I head back home on Saturday and yes, writing, reading, and celebrating with the great grand-daughters has been hectic for me as well. I am so far behind that I am going to have to cut and paste except for the ones I received this year. Thank you so much. Happy New Year!
    Hugs, Carol

This is not only a lovely, magical story of the beauty that is around us and a good lesson that love is at the very centre of life. Beautifully told Carol and I could imagine beautiful artwork around this.
Cheers

I'm glad that Timmy gets to share this place with one of his friends. I'm sure they'll take good care of this place and that it'll be something they'll keep just to themselves. If I was them, I wouldn't want to share it with anyone else. Another excellent story, Carol, I enjoyed reading it.

You're right that love - God's love really keeps the world going. I like how you made it a magical story for kids but give us a true spiritual meaning within. Happy New Year!!

    The saying is "Better late than never" and with that in mind I am now trying to thank everyone for all the support and encouragement they gave me during these last weeks as I wrote like a mad woman. I so appreciate every time you went that extra mile for me.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

God loves unity, when good things, good people are in agreement with one another, with things that are fluid and flow with one another, like an orchestra who can only sound beautiful when in tune and harmony, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

AMEN!! Love is the heart of everything good. We are commanded to love one another. It seems like as humans we often forget that. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.

So well written, Carol. I could imagine the swans dancing and mesmerizing the children with the visual delight. Your imagination is full of beauty and grace and I thank you for writing this and helping us to enter into the magic with you. :)

Hi there, Carol.
I trust you and your family have had a great Christmas together.
I love these children's storeys. I have this lovely image of you crouched over your keyboard through the day creating your magical tale and then that evening, gathering the great grandchildren to read the latest story of magic and wonder, to an enthralled audience.
Great writing.

Oh my goodness, that was beautiful! You are so good at writing for children as well, this one really brings out the magic that love can give us. It is a good lesson for young children to learn as it will stay with them throughout they lives. I loved the imagery your words gave us, I could see the swans dancing the waltz around the pond. It was truly lovely, my friend. Well done! Love you lots. :)) Sandra xxx

Still good. Are you making a children's book now? Your work does not talk down to the children, does not sugar coat the story, or promise glory and fame. It simply states, and good comes from open and true love. Karen
