Penny sat down in her favorite chair, in the
garden that she loved, a well-earned cup of tea and a stunning sunset. The
spring air was cool, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
It
had been a busy day sorting out the house; she had got it just how she liked it.
She laid back, shut her eyes, and
listened to the birds singing the evening chorus.
She
was born at a village hospital in the spring. On the day that she was born
there had been a thunderstorm and as they looked out the window and there in
the sky was a triple rainbow
She
lived with her parents and younger brother and when she was younger, she was active
in the community with brownies and guides and Sunday school. She was easy to
talk to and the younger children in the village would always come to hug her
and tell her all their news.
Although
Penny was easy going most of the time, there were certain areas of her life as
she got older that was hard. She had had panic attacks that started after
stressful exams in the last year at secondary school. They were very draining, Penny
was spending a lot of time indoors, a lot of it researching her favorite poetry
people. Through the support of her family and church, she had overcome them.
Penny had always lived on the Yorkshire moors
and never dreamed of being anywhere else. The thought of moving made her
anxious again. But sometimes we can get too comfortable and we need to be woken
up a little.
Now let me introduce you
to the key man in the story, his name is Jason.
Jason was a strong, good looking man with
stunning blue eyes and a large curly mop of hair. He was twenty-six. Unlike Penny, he had been part of a circus
family growing up, so he never stayed in the same place for over two weeks.
His
job in the circus was helping his father with the accounts. He was bright like
his father and had an excellent head for figures. His mum and dad had paid for
him to sit his English and Maths GCSE when they were in one place long enough, Jason
learned so much just by experiencing the day to day running of the circus.
Jason enjoyed life, but sometimes he
wished for some quiet time alone. They were always on the move and he was
looking forward to settling down in one place and find the lady of his dreams.
Sometimes in life, we must go through the darkness
so we can come into more glorious light.
and that is where the story begins .........
