May Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Water”

Water gives life — flowers, fish, humans.

Vidya hit my heart when she told me about the “Water” challenge for May. I’m obsessed with open-water swimming and love exploring different bodies of water to swim. But the water prompt got me trying to think beyond oceans, rivers, and lakes.

Water gives life to —

  1. The flowers I picked that I placed into a vase.
  2. The fish swimming in the aquarium.
  3. Me — I need it to survive.

Remember to fill up your water glass or bottle every day to replenish your body and soul. The benefits are remarkable — it covers the basics to help your body function well.

We’re open for submissions and invite you to submit to the current May Monthly Challenge “Water” led by my dear co-editor Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles this month. Note: Freestyle submissions are always open. Writers are welcome to respond to any previous Monthly Challenges that have passed and submit them as Freestyle pieces.

Bless the hearts of these two dear people and great writers, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, and Sandi Parsons, my awesome team, for their ongoing editing efforts with submissions.
