An unusual dream and playing with crayons.

I've been busy as usual,I think when the kids are out of school I'm actually more busy! I only have my daughter left in the nest and she's 13 so I'm just trying to enjoy her because I know time goes by fast! We went away for the weekend,which was really relaxing. We had an out of town wedding but we just made a weekend out of it. I just sat by the pool all day. Of course I brought my journal with me but a sweet lady caught my ear all afternoon so I didnt get much done as far as journaling. Hope everyone else is enjoying summer! Have a great week.

The Boy on the Beach

"May you always have a shell in your pocket and sand in your toes"

Scattering Daisies

All summer she scattered the daisy leaves; They only mocked her as they fell,She said;"The daisy but deceives;'He loves me not,he loves me will',one story no two daisies tell." Ah foolish heart,which waits and grieves under the daisy's mocking spell.
By Helen Hunt

The past,present,and future

I just love to use quotes for inspiration, sometimes I write them somewhere in the the journal page and sometimes I just think about them while I journal. Here's a quote that inspired me for this page. "What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened it has all worked together to bring you to this moment and this is the moment you can choose to make everything new,right now" Author unknown. The past is familar,the present is now but the future is unknown. which way will she go?

"The Black Cloud"

Do you ever feel like a big black cloud is over you? Just when you think it is gone and theres blue skies,its back again,kinda like the past how it sometimes haunts you even though you thought you dealt with it and moved on,it shows up again just to tap you on the shoulder and say I'm not going anywhere,I'll be with you forever!

Look Back & Let Go

You know the saying "Don't look back" well sometimes we have to look back and face the past before we can move forward again. Whether it be painful or sad, face it,look at it, and then "Let Go" and move forward.
