Happy Anniversary to Me

You know the old saying " Time Flies "
Well, it really does. I can't believe 22 years has passed by. I have vivid memories of my wedding day. I can remember just about everything I did that entire day. My memory can take me there as if I was there again. I was just a young 18 year old girl who knew what I wanted at that moment. I wanted to spend every minute of my life with this man I had fallen in love with and could not get enough of.
Every anniversary we talk about that day and our wise old age makes is wonder why we didn't do things differently. Of course you can always wonder why you didn't do things different but the fact is we were young and we were living in the moment then. No worries of the future and the past was the past. So if I would change anything today it would be to live in the now again more. The future is only a thought anyway and the past is a memory. My mantra for the day is to live in this day and enjoy every single minute of my 22 anniversary.
I really am glad we've made this far.
I think we've got this now :)
Happy Anniversary Baby, I love you more than anything

Nurturing the Writer inside

The Daisy is my favorite flower.  I love the Gerber daisy the best with its pastel colors and full petals.  Larry says I have a black thumb and plants get sick and die when I am in charge of caring for them.  I think he's full of it but I only have one houseplant that my dear friend gave my for my birthday 5 years ago.  It is still alive but probably not growing to its potential.  


I have been reading other blogs to see what people like to write about or what is interesting.  I have found that these blogs appear to reflect the writer's personality as well as their interests.  I'm finding that to be true with my blog as well.  I am trying to spend time working on my blog and at least posting once a day.  I read a lot of great advice on the Pioneer Woman's blog, which is fantastic by the way.  


I think the writer inside is dying to come out and bloom into something really wonderful for me but I know it is something that I have to nurture the undeveloped writer inside so that I can enable a blossom of growth.  I believe it is the same as one of my Gerber daisy's taking full bloom.  The flower started from a seed that is deposited in the ground with care.  As the seed takes root to the earth and grows every day so will my writing.  Water and Sunlight are mandatory for daily growth as well practice and good energy are for me to write.  Slowly the leaves appear and soon comes a flower bud.  The flower then opens in full bloom with such beauty.


Nurturing is a vital process for anything that needs to grow.  Mother's nurture their children so that they can grow and so do animals.  
Writing can be time consuming and so fulfilling.  I am truly enjoying writing and learning new things about me.  I am so thankful that I can share what I know and people are inspired or motivated by my blog.


Enjoy....
