Michele's New Home

From Dale Smith of Motivational Mondays...

"Portrait of a Friend"I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,nor the future with its untold stories.But I can be there now when you need me to care.I can't keep your feet from stumbling.I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;Yet I can share in your laughter.Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask.I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,from your values, from me.I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,room to be yourself.I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,But I can cry with you and help you pick up the piecesand put them back in place.I can't tell you who you are.I can only love you and be your friend.--Unknown

My Space

Saturday we worked like dogs in the yard. Weather was beautiful... it got hot... but we got alot done. Including, fixing me a "special place", a "private space", my "secret garden" on the side of the house, hidden by the shrubbery! We bought a black wrought-iron glider, and I'm using one of Mom's black wrought-iron tables...I put a flower arrangement on it... For nighttime use, it gets some light from our house and the house next door... Looks into the eastern sky, so I can see the sun and the moon rise from there!

I haven't even had the time or the energy to "try it out" yet! Now that I have it, I want to establish quiet times there. Perfect place for this time of year (which I love!).
