Ordinary World

Hi readers. I know that I don't post a lot but it's because a lot of times I don't have anything that I want to put here. However, I do want to have a meaningful blog so right now there is nothing more meaningful than this post. This post is dedicated to one of the most special people in my life. As a matter of fact, this person gave me and continues to give me so much of myself that I didn't know was there. He is the one who I fell in love with many years ago. He and I have been through so much together. Just recently, I have been in a very bad place with myself and trying to push my husband away from me because I know how much he loves me and I felt I wasn't doing the same and it isn't fair to him to let him love me that much, while I was giving up on myself. If I don't love myself, how can I even begin to try and love someone else? However, there is something inside myself that gives me strength and makes me realize HOW MUCH I really love my husband and how much it means to me to hold on to that love and never give up. All I need to do is listen to OUR song...this song came out around the time we started dating and was the song we played for our first dance at our wedding. For many years we had a not so ordinary world....this song means a lot to me in many ways and I always think about my husband when I hear this and I only love him more and more.

Pinterest

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while. I have to admit....I've been too busy pinning on Pinterest. Do you know how addicting that is once you start? Are any of you on there? If so, I'm sure you know what I mean. There are so many sites that I visit throughout my day, but once I log onto my Pinterest account, that's it. I'm pinning things from all over the place. Most of the time, it's things I see on websites or whatever and I want to "pin" the site or image so I can revisit it later (like recipes). It's also a place to separate all my favorite ideas for things and put them into categories that I choose. Well...I just love it. Come check out my boards and if you don't have an invite which you need to get started, I'll be glad to send you an invite.
