On saying goodbye...We never know when our last conversation with someone will be until we are looking back. It does give us something to look forward to, though...an eternity of conversation, relationships, and I hope tea drinking. Also reminds me that Time is a valuable commodity, so spend it on what is important. Celebrating the life of my sweet aunt this past weekend brings it into sharp focus.

2009 visit |
Don't know if or when I will visit my parents' grave again. But that's ok, they are not here anyway! |
On birthdays...instead of buying or making birthday cards for my DH I have begun making a scrapbook page for him in honor of his day. It just magnifies the enjoyment for both of us...I get the fun of creating something I know he will like, we get greater value from the money spent because we will both enjoy looking at it in future and not just for a moment, and since he likes to keep things, this already has an assigned place for storage--the scrapbook album. This year's page was super easy because I found the perfect piece of patterned paper to use.
On friends...I miss you. and not just the ones pictured here.
On the importance of laughter...keep doing it. And it's always better with people you love... And if you find the same things funny...
And finally...beauty is a gift to be found/created/shared...all around us, small or large. If you recognize the significance of this photo beyond the beauty of flowers and table, it means I am thinking about you today.
