Chapter 1 - Lonely Flower

Have you ever felt the breeze wash over your skin with a warth touch of the sun? Feel the curess of sand and water at you feet. the slight smellnof salt and fresh cut grass mixed.

Just close your eyes and picture yourself being there. Its calm and relaxing with a bit of real peacfulness. Take a few deep breaths and dive in. Im going to take you back to where i became my own type of flower.

-----:Ten years ago:---------

I was sitting on the front porch with my grandma. She comes out every morning to drink her coffee and breath. I decided to join her today to see why it was daily need. She took her 5 deep slow breaths with her eyes closed before she looked at me.

"Sweetheart, when you have a bunch of negatives pointed out or negative people have bothered you, you have to release all the bad in your life with good." she said. "But grandma, that's how you keep balance, its fifty fifty ratio in life." i retorted. She just laughed at me and put a pinkish red habiscus in my hand. Grandma lifted my head, kissed me on my forehead and went inside to start breakfast.

So i sat there and wondered. 'Is bad really needed in the world or does it need to be balanced' I said to myself. I kept looking at the flower in my hand to see the connections. I have no idea what she meant or why she giggled.

I decided to go down to work a hour early today. Seemed as though I had to put my heavy mind to work to ease up. i worked at a flower shop right next to the ocean shores. My co-worker already had most of the things done except watering.

When I finished with the rest of the jobb duties i decided to go sit in the walk through entrance on the back side of the store. You see the store was structured to have no doors. It is basically a glass barn for flowers.

I couldnt get what Grandma said out of my head, even with putting my mind to work. So i stood up to go finish the rest of my shift. There was a new smell inside the shop that kept standing out to my nose all day. I have been searching for this smell for over two hours and im pretty sure it just ran off.
