Stories Collected While Living in France
Life isn’t fair. It is not always easy. Life continues, it doesn’t wait. It doesn’t ask you if you are happy, or is it good for you. It offers mountains to climb, valleys to visit, and a sky that is endless. One step at a time or running through it…one thing is certain our path is right under foot and the directions are endless.

Yes, Corey, life can be a-maze-ing !!!
what you share today rings loudly in my soul. have you ever thought about becoming a song writer?
Your son looks so grown-up…up on the top of those stairs. I hope all is well my friend. Bisous
Life is short, live each day to the fullest…I say this, but “life” gets in the way. Does that make sense?
In the end, all that matters is what matters to you…
Ain’t that the truth…
WE must keep putting our best foot forward on our walk of life even if during difficult times it is one baby step at a time………
Blessings!
Don’t jump!
Cool shot….he looks 10 feet tall in that photo!
And you watch a dvd of Pollyanna (the lovely old one with Hayley Mills) and despite the fact that it is a bit cheesy something about it resonates with you – be GLAD ( or just thankful) – not a bad way to live your life
You are sooooo right! I read somewhere that “sometimes your only means of transportation is a leap of faith” and I believe I have now experienced it!Thanks for a great start to my last day at my job!!! WooHoo, we are leaping now! Can you see that yippee skippee dance starting? And please tell Chelsea thanks for being my role model – no fear! (heart) leau
How true…the path that we are to follow is right before us…like it or not!
Is this photo of Sacha from your vacation?
happy friday the 13th…blessings, rebecca
How comforting to know that the directions are endless. To go in a round-about way can also mean progress, whether that is slowly or having to climb mountains.Thank you for the reminder and the strength to take that leap of faith.
Sasha looks ready to take on whatever the future has in store.

Wise words Corey. I’m writing a big post today and tomorrow. These thoughts will figure into it.
Another great inspiration!
Well said Corey. It is those little trips on a step that irritate me.
This is so true!
And what a great photo to go with very wise words!
Yes, it just rushes by, not even throwing a rope down…Gushing in its own selfish glory….Jumping on the train is hard sometimes…But, the destinaiton can be so glorious!! xoxoxo
What do you mean the staircase leads to nowhere? I bet it lead to a great view!
Ciao!
I believe that life is what you make it. If you make it sour or hateful you will have a sour or hateful life.
However if you for good and happy things, I feel that you will have a better and happier life.
The path to good is straight and narrow. “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Hi there…..I found your blog this week……your words and photos and art have completely pulled me in. Beautiful, humourous, introspective and FULL of the myriad of feelings which make up our lives. You have a new fan 🙂
A salute to life’s endless journey of discovery.
Oh how true and I needed to be reminded of this today.
I love what you share and how you share it Corey.
Hope you are having a brilliant time with family/friends in California.

l’ange….
Great to read you each day …
even when you are far away you seem so close.
I look forward seeing you in Provence ….
I am feeling so keenly, the fragility and unfairness of life today.
Your post yesterday was about connections, today I fret if a connection will hold tight and endure.
The randomness of life is hard to face today. I do not worry over which path is for me, but rather for another. Will we meet again?
I wish I was at the top of those stairs with a view of what lay ahead.
Sorry to be such a sad sack today. 🙁
I guess then it is the journey that counts.
I must remember that when I feel blah! It is so I can appreciate the great days.

Yes, it is a leap of faith….but how sad for those who do not leap…
Love this post. Your words are so true. I love the patina of the steps…makes you think of all those who’ve made that journey.
Love the photo…and the post.
and the best thing we can do is be present for life, every moment, and feel.
How very true and eloquently put. As always, I appreciate and admire your insight.
An amazing photo and a great life analogy. I’m writing it down and quoting you!
