Leaving

It's always difficult to say goodbye.

It never fails to make my eyes fill up & my nose burn.

It doesn't get any easier. 

I'm ready for it to be over.

God Put You in my Path

"There are certain people in your life whose words consistently guide you toward truth and joy and love.  Be sure you make time for those people." --John Ortberg

Tears

"When tears come, I breathe deeply and rest. I know I am swimming in a hallowed stream where many have gone before. I am not alone, crazy, or having a nervous breakdown.... My heart is at work, my soul is awake." - thedailylove.com

Some experiences in life really push us to our limits. 

Bare Bones

“To succeed in life,



you need three things:


a wishbone,


a backbone,


and a


funny


bone”

—Reba McEntire
 
I have lots of wishes, I'm working on being more confident, but I'm only funny with "the fabulous V"! 

25 amazing years

Could it be that I have been married for 25 years?  In some ways it doesn't seem possible yet in others I hardly remember my life before this wonderful man.  I am so thankful for all the love, support & encouragement he gives me everyday.  These are the amazing flowers he sent me today.  It has all my favorites in this arrangement! 

There's Only Love

"When you judge you leave no room for Love - when you Love... you see nothing to judge." --thedailylove.com

I am feeling flooded with love right now!  My sweet husband left notes hidden all over the house when he left for work today, my mom brought me my favorite Godiva chocolates to get me through the next couple of days, and my precious daughter sent me these beautiful flowers.  The line on the card is one of the favorite quotes from the book The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. 

Salt Water

“The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.” -- Isak Dinesen

This is so true for me!
