I was never the prettiest
I was never the smartest
I was never the fastest
I was never the most artistic
I was never the most talented
but there was this one thing
I always felt special
I always knew I would do something special
I made lots of mistakes
still making them
I shake them off
sometimes it takes a minute
a day
a month
sometimes it takes year
some I am still shaking
but
I still know that I am special
I look in the mirror
I look myself in the eye
and
I smile
and
I like that I am sharing this secret with that person smiling back at me
she knows me better than I know myself
does she know what makes me special ?
what special think I will do
I believe she does

50 to 50-- Day 47 Flower Power
FLOWER POWER
I received a box in the mail from my sweet friend Barb !!! It had several gifts....including these bulbs to plant at my new house. This gray day....has turned happy --- the power of flowers.....the power of friendship. The bag reads Perfect Pair--- Barb and I have experienced a lot through our friendship....she was my roommate in Wichita for a Relay event. We have laughed and we cried together. I admire her and love her with all my heart.
Thank you Barb

50 to 50-- Day 48 Silver and Gold
SILVER AND GOLD
remember the song ???
Make new friends
But keep the old
One is silver
and the other gold
I was lucky enough to have lunch with my new (silver) friend Karin and then drive down to Maryville where my dear old (gold) friend moved to.
I haven't seen Ashley forever and I loved catching up with her and I value our friendship way more than gold

50 to 50 -- Day 49 Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day
Day 49
COTTON CANDY ON A RAINY DAY
when I was in college I fell in love with the name of a poetry book by Nikki Giovanni--- Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day.
That image/saying/feeling has stayed with me all these years.
sometimes it made me sad , all the sweetness dissolving away.
sometimes it made me happy, the sweet on a otherwise sad day.
So tonight Wyatt, Scott and I laughed and walked in the rain and enjoyed the cotton candy....and I just enjoyed the moment.

50 DAYS TIL 50--- DAY 50--- Expect A Miracle
EXPECT A MIRACLE
Wyatt and I were walking to MacMurray College when we saw this sign. (You can see me in the reflection) I thought it was perfect for my first photo in my 50 to 50. This church is on the corner of College and Ken Norton Way. People that know me....know that I like signs. I like actual signs (like this one) and signs that I feel, see or know are from God. I feel like this is a good combination of both. Expect A Miracle.... I believe in miracles. I have witnessed miracles. Some have been small and some have been magnificent. I am not sure that I would "expect" a miracle.....but I know in my heart that miracles are happening all around me.

Mr Rabbit (March 26,2014)
poor little Mr Wyatt.
every morning on our walk we pass by rose bushes.
There are about 20 bushes in each area.
Wyatt sniffs around and just when he is ready to gives up
His friend Mr Rabbit jumps out and they give each other a little look.
Mr Rabbit scurries away and Mr Wyatt jumps with joy.
on yesterday's walk
only one area
today the little bulldozer/bobcat was digging up the other area.
Mr Rabbit nowhere to be seen.
Mr Wyatt looked around and around
and then he looked at me.

little house (March 24, 2014)
a month ago.... Scott and I looked at a house.... and decided to buy it
we really only saw it that day with our Realtor and the day before at an open house.
I wish I knew what kind of flowers and trees and whatever are growing in the back yard (it was covered in snow)
I wish I could remember what colors some of the rooms are
(I do know OUR bedroom is pink.....and we will have to repaint)
I wish I took some photos and measurements.
I have no idea what will fit and what won't
I wish I paid more attention to how many and how big the kitchen cabinets were
I wish I had figured out how many plastic bins could fit on the shelves in the basement
I wish it was time to get in there and make it my home
I can't wait to dig in my garden
I can't wait to grill in the backyard
I can't wait to get the fire pit going
I can't wait to play catch in the backyard and let Wyatt chase the pesky squirrels
I can't wait
my little house
with my little dog
and my sweet husband
