Goodbye 2018!

Christmas 2018 is now just a happy memory.
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season ...I love these days where all is quiet and you can relax and take things slowly.
It was wonderful to have our family all under the one roof and now they have gone back to their life, and apartments.

Just want to say thank you so much for your friendship, support, and encouragement over the past year and following along. Your kindness is truly appreciated.

Write it on your heart that every day, is the best day in the year
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Best wishes for luck in everyone's New Year... but mostly lots of love.
May you have good health, happiness and Joy in 2019.

Birthday's!

Birthday's... you either love them, hate them or can't decide.
Every year you get one and there is nothing you can do about that.

Well it is that time of the year again to celebrate the day of my birth ~ 16th May, and I will not tell you the year!
As a small child you lived for your birthday and to be another year older.
As another one gets closer, you could get a little frowny but instead I want to think of how life has been good and I am thankful everytime I open my eyes to a new day.
Looking back on all the lovely moments of the past year and for looking ahead to more wonderful times in the coming year.

I love the flower for the month of May ~ Lily of the Valley, Convallaria, Muguet.

The Lily of the Valley is prized for its delicate fragrance and beautiful blooms.
The meanings of the Lily of the valley ~ a symbol of happiness, purity of heart and sweetness. It is one of my all time favourite flowers and I tried growing some one year and they were lovely in the garden.

To help celebrate my birthday, I am giving away a small gift.
Just leave a comment to say what you like or dislike about birthdays and what is your birth month flower?

Have a lovely weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
