The month of September is slipping away. It has been a beautiful month with gorgeous blue skies and pleasant temperatures. My flowers managed to survive and they are really pretty with colorful blooms. I love this time of year. I have had fun decorating the house for fall and life has been pleasantly full of happiness.
My dad made it past some difficult hurdles in his recovery from surgery and he too is enjoying this fall. Our lives are getting back into a regular routine and he is moving right along. It seemed like a long recovery and yet the time has passed quickly. We are enjoying life everyday, as it can be over in a blink.
I am living vicariously these days through the eyes and pictures of my daughter enjoying Europe. I know she is pinching herself, as she and friends are walking around having the time of their life. I have always dreamed of traveling to Europe and I am very happy that my daughter is living the dream. I am still optimistic that I will also make it there some day. I am enjoying all of her pictures she has sent and dreaming that I am there with her. Maybe I will awake tomorrow to the sounds of Paris. It could happen with iTunes.
For now, this very moment, my husband awaits for me to join him in enjoying another beautiful fall day. We are spending as much time as possible outside before winter arrives. Arrivederci !!
Life is beautiful !!!

Forgetting The Past and Embracing Life
It is already September and summer is slipping away, but you can't tell by the weather. It has been stinking hot this week. The highs are reaching ninety plus with lots of humidity. Yesterday we had a lot of pop up rain showers and it looks like we are about to have the same today. A little steam bath for the complexion, helps with the wrinkles...LOL! Laney is enjoying the air conditioning, She is my spoiled and lovable companion. The heat is too much for her.
The last couple of years my flowers looked great, but this year they have struggled to survive. I did neglect them somewhat, as I was gone from home a lot. My dad was the center of my attention for the past six weeks and the flowers were left to thrive on their own. I did manage to keep his flowers looking great. Now that my dad is feeling better and I am spending more time at home, I hope that I can revive some of my flowers. They are usually very pretty this time of the year. All the rain in the spring and early summer caused some of my flowers to rot at the roots, and now they are frying from the heat. Some of them have managed to thrive and they are beautiful. I hope I can keep them into October, as they love cool weather. No flowers for winter is an unpleasant thought. I will definitely buy bouquets of flowers for inside the house.
The past is gone and the difficult times that none of us want to live through do come to an end. The future is today and life is beautiful. I feel free living in this very moment and enjoying time with my family and friends. The past can't hurt you when you realize that you don't have to relive it. You have the power to decide to live happily ever after and allow your dreams to come true. This past year has been life changing and I feel very much at peace. Flowers are surely smiles from God.
Life is beautiful !!
