In the forest is a glass fairy.
Some say it is a statue, a carving, but others tell a more sinister tale.
They say she was a good fairy who helped everyone and looked after the forest and its creatures.
One day, an evil vampire came upon the fairy and bit into its flesh, draining its blood and its soul, til all that was left was an outline of glass.
The vampire left sated and was never seen again, but the fairy's glass remains were left in the depths of the forest as a warning, or a symbol of hope.

Hobby Hobby Living Oh My
When we live our lives we do so in a way that works for us and gives us happiness or that is what we strive for, isnβt it? That is what I strive for happiness through my hobbies. When we live our lives through the hobbies that we do in life we get so much more out of life and the hobbies that we have in it. As we live the lives that we want to live, how do we go about doing this? What is that we do? We find the hobbies we enjoy and put them into our weekends or days off from work. Now if we have kids sometimes these hobbies change but hobbies change anyway because our interests change and I have a whole other post on that so that is all I am going to say on the matter. Hobbies have always been a part of our lives no matter how we look at it. They are the things that we do in life that help our minds and bodies relax. So the more we put our hobbies and lives together the better we feel at least that is what I think, what do you think?
