Daily Prompt:Pick Me Up

What is the one word or phrase or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it?

I remember I just completed writing 101 and posted it on the blog. I was hoping someone would write a comment for my writing. To my delight  I received a comment from  Dr. Miller, she  wrote this  after she read my post: “A beautiful piece told with so much strength of character and emotion. Thank you for sharing your self and beliefs so openly and with so much inner light shining through. Best wishes for much success in your writing . You have made such a wonderful start here.”

It sure made my day, I never expected anyone to write such a beautiful comment for my writing. I try to believe in my self more after this comment. It has motivated me so much I look forward to writing posts, whenever I get a chance.

Dr. Miller’s comment cheered me up a lot, and I felt that we all should learn from it and try to cheer up our fellow bloggers or the children we teach. The world would be a much better place I know!

Fiction: Steam

Patricia told her mom she’d like to run the Boston marathon, mother wasn’t sure Pat was trained enough, even though she qualified for the marathon.

Mom was   one  of those people who’d never think of discouraging her kid.

Mother and daughter reached  Boston two days before the marathon, Patricia was confident she’d be able to do well.

On the day of the marathon she received a very discouraging letter, it was from her best friend Tracy, she wrote, it was a very difficult course, she doubts Pat will be able to complete it.

Patricia read the letter several times, she could not believe Tracy would discourage her, she tried to ignore the contents of the letter, she started the run , she’d reached halfway, when she felt terrible cramps, she began to limp, finally a gust of wind blew her off course she fell down, she did not have enough strength to continue!
