Good morning, everyone!!!
They say the Lord doesn't give you more than you can handle, man, He must think I'm pretty strong. Things are hitting from all sides these days. I've always been one to do my best NOT to say, "What more could go wrong???" Because life also has a way of showing you just how much can go wrong.
I won't go into the too personal issues because none of this have we made this public right now. Some just family knows, some only a couple of us know currently. Just pray for strength for us right now.
Between personal and business life seems to think I asked that voodoo question, "What more could go wrong???" Well, newsflash life, I didn't ask, LOL.
So, my focus these days is trying my best to maintain peace within myself so I can be my best self to help where I'm needed. I work in my flower beds, plant, work around my little yard, and tell myself, you need to get your butt over to your sister's and help work that garden. We've already got one small bell pepper growing (she sent me a pic last night) :)
I've been enjoying my porch, golf cart rides with hubby, and just some major down time once I leave the hustle and bustle of a job that really needs to take a long hard look at their business plan.
I enjoy mornings out on my porch. The quiet before the insanity as I like to look at it. My porch is nestled at the back of my two story brick house. I can see a tiny bit of the road out front from my position here (if I really try to). The outer walls of my porch is made of lattice which I started training flowering vines to grow through a few of them last summer. My chair and swing cushions are tropical, against dark walnut chairs and swings. My tables out here are also done in dark walnut.
My Fruit Punch flower basket my son got me for Mother's Day, adds a nice splash of color to one of the tables. The palm tree lamp with coconut light covers and the palm trees with monkeys candle holder finish off our decor.
From my chair I can see the flowers growing in my table garden my daughter bought for me when she was in Iraq. This is where the hummingbird likes to dine. I can also turn slightly and see the herbs in the greenhouse my children got me this year for Mother's Day. They're looking pretty amazing this year :)
Last week I cut peppermint and hung it to dry from the top pole of the greenhouse. It should be ready for storing here soon.
Sometimes peace is what we make it. Just a step away from the outside world. A getting back to nature if you would. Just letting your mind relax and empty itself from the day's worries. Listening to the birds chirping, the blow of a train horn as it moves down the tracks, or just plain listening to the quiet.
Sometimes we just need to open ourselves and let the peace seep into our veins.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
