COOLING HER HEELS©
It was
a beautiful day for a hike, the weather was perfect, but Peter seemed a little
"out of it" today, a little aloof.
Wendy figured it was because the end of the quarter was near and Peter
was still short of his sales quota.
As
they walked she and Peter engaged in idle chit chat. If she mentioned anything about work he
quickly moved along to another subject.
The
sound of the waterfall in the distance meant that lunch break was just around
the corner. Her feet were tired and she
was ready for a rest. The waterfall was Wendy's favorite place in the whole
world and she looked forward to a peaceful half an hour enjoying its beauty.
Running
to the edge of the pool, she pulled off her hiking boots and let her feet
slowly sink into the cool blue water.
Peter joined her as they sat and shared a delicious lunch of peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches. Afterwards,
dozing in the sun, Wendy tried to think of a way to cheer Peter up a bit.
As
they prepared to leave, Wendy slid on her socks and grabbed her boots. After
cooling her heels in the stream her boots always felt so much better on her
feet. Lacing up her second boot she
noticed something strange about the shoelace.
There was something hanging from it . . . a diamond ring! It was a diamond engagement ring!!
She turned
to face Peter who had dropped to his knee beside her. Taking the boot from her he removed the ring,
looked lovingly into her eyes, and said, "My darling Wendy, I love you
more than anything in this world. I want
to spend the rest of my life with you.
Will you marry me?"
Wendy's
response was a great big "yes!" as she toppled Peter over into the
grass to give him a kiss.
Drop by and let us help
you be her HERO!
