Happy Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve...
Resting and snuggled in their beds.

Visions of sugar plum fairies danced in their heads.

 May you be happy, safe and snuggled in your home dreaming of a beautiful Christmas Day, 2016.

Thankful...

Thankful for blessings 2016.  Birthday and Thanksgiving weekend all in one.  We were blessed to celebrate another birthday for my mom.  I count each year with her as a gift.  She's a real trooper, kind-hearted, giving, patient and continues to be an example to me every day.

I've missed blogging and look forward to coming back to it! I also have missed my blog friends and being inspired by their blogs and creativity.  I'm thankful for much in my life.

Far too long

It has been far too long since I've posted.  Gentle nudges put me back on my blog.

Life can be busy, hectic and full of 'have to's' so this post is simply about another 'have to'.

I have to....

take time to look at fluttery rose petals

Absolute perfection.  Nature does it like that.

Layers of incredible petals.  

Fully open on fluttery petals- light pink edges.  No, not really a 'have to' but more of a have to.  Have to take time to enjoy the things I love.  Have to take photos and publish them so I can share them with others.  Have to enjoy each and every moment- even when there are moments we may think we don't want to enjoy. Have to breathe in the beauty I am blessed to see each day as I walk past these incredible gifts of nature.  Have to wish you a wonderful day... whenever you read this, wherever you are.  There is beauty all around.
