STORY CHALLENGE: LETTER K
KICK UP YOUR HEELS
AND RELAX
Last year I was walking through the neighborhood of Oakland, where the University of Pittsburgh is located, when I noticed this mural above a local eatery. I have walked these streets on many occasions and never saw this one before.
I knew it was because I was checking out the area where my granddaughter’s freshman dorm was located. I wanted to check out the influences that would be around her.
This stood out to me because it appears to be of another era. Not the hip hop, internet, fast past society of today. What was this image trying to convey? Maybe one generation looking down on another generation, with relaxed interest.
I also realized my granddaughter was raised with a good foundation and she will do well in her new environment. No need to worry, all will work out for her good. Now in her second year she has adjusted well to college life.
I needed a picture for FrizzTest’s Story Challenge: Letter K and this was one I had not used before.
What does the mural say to you? Also check out other entries on link above.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

All the best to your granddaughter as she begins her new adventure of freshman year.

I wish you granddaughter all the best in college and life in general. Indeed she is blessed to have the right foundations in life surrounded by people who love and support her in everything. As for the mural…timely! We all need to just sit, relax and enjoy what today brings. A cold drink sounds good too.
