A Thousand Words Thursday

Sickies Have Taken Over The House

We have been sick much of March. Hopefully, next month brings healthier days.

A Thousand Words Thursday - Little Miss Sunny Puss

This is another staged photo by my Goddess.
She is the perfect muse with tons of expressions and thoughts for photos.

ABC Wednesday - H - Hugging

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of my children. I know you can't see their
faces but how stinking cute are they hugging each other? She is almost 2 and he was 4.
They warm my heart.

A Thousand Words Thursday

Check out this outfit put together by 3 year old Goddess. Need I say more?!

ABC Wednesday - F

We are already up to letter "f" over at ABC Wednesday.

This week, "F" stands for Flowers

The sweet whisper of his lover, cascaded down the velvety petals of the tulip, into
the heart of the golden cup - Maria Gagliano 2009

I really love this photo. The only thing I did was add my name at the bottom. No special effects, just raw beauty.

Playing with Flowers

The first picture is one that I took of a yellow tulip from D and used an effect called Lomoish. Personally I like the original but think the Lomoish is interesting and colorful.

Last week I had a playdate with my son's friend L and his wonderful momma D. She is the ultimate guest. I seriously need to take some tips from her. She came over with a beautiful bouquet of tulips and some Valentine cookies. I never bring anything when I visit people.

She is the sweetest and liked her from the first day I met her. She instantly makes me feel comfortable and I love how she views the world. She is one of those people everyone should have in their life.

I am fortunate to have so many wonderful friends in my life. They are all good and different. There is the friend you call when you need a shoulder, or one you laugh with, discuss life with, who is your best cheerleader? I live with someone who can make me feel so small with just his presence never mind his personality. Friends make you feel important and worthy. My friends make me feel like I matter. This is used be more of a problem for me. I needed to feel someone cared and someone thought that what I had to say is worthy of listening to. I don't NEED this as much as I used to. My current philosophy is...we are all the stars of our own reality, so there is no longer a NEED for someone to validate me. If I waited for my husband to do this I would be waiting a long time and the way things affect me is based on how I handle it. I no longer let people affect me in negative ways. My husband can't make me feel bad about something if I don't allow it. Period!

So, back to the beautiful flowers...how the hell did I get on a tangent about validation anyway???
