    Good Morning Sweetie...
    What a beautiful simple share today.

    Yes I see the beauty in this simple rose. The beauty in this dried up rose, the gorgeous line that it has, the color that was, and the love that it shares. Absolutely.

    Thank you for sharing dear friend. Have a beautiful day. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    My old faded rose
    With your petals hanging down
    I didn’t know I’d miss you so
    My old faded rose

    I think I would cultivate roses for many reasons including this one: drying roses in a bouquet. 8)

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me....

Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
