Lorie sat on the log, looking out at the river. It was a beautiful day, and she felt at peace. She had always loved coming to this spot, ever since she was a little girl. It was her favorite place to come and think.

She thought about all the happy times she’d had here with her friends, and all the times she’d come here alone to think and dream. This was a place that always made her feel good, no matter what.

Even now, as she was facing some tough decisions in her life, she felt better just being here. It was like the river knew her secrets and could offer her some kind of guidance.

She sat there for a long time, just watching the water flow by. And finally, she felt ready to face whatever was ahead of her.
