Here’s your reminder. Sometimes the world can get too crazy. You gotta stop and tune out the noise.
You need to take a moment and smell the roses.
Or the next best thing.
And appreciate the past . . .
the present . . .
And the future . . .
And find joy in the little things.
Photos by me in the month of June.

Writing from the Heart with Brian 
Thank you for this interlude, Brian. Back to the gastro doc this morning–the steroid hasn’t helped. Here’s hoping they have a Plan B that will work. #crohns #mymiserablemiddle

Oh, thank you Joy. I hope things went better today for you. I’ve heard a few stories about Crohn’s. I know it poses some huge challenges. Sending positive thoughts/prayers your way.🙏🏼😎

Your photos are beautiful. I am partial to flowers and love the summer time to work in my garden. It’s been near to impossible this past week with the weather – extreme heat and pouring rain. Hope the weekend is better. I need to get down and dirty.

Yes, yes, heat and rain. Ugh. It’s been a killer. It was a little better today, but still so cloudy. I’m hoping for better weather too. Need a little sun or I go crazy. Ha, ha. I started to take the pics of the flowers earlier this month when we were out and about because it was so rainy. Ha, ha.

I need the sunshine too. Our spring and summer is our only respite from six months of below zero and warm blankets. Won’t be long now and we’ll be complaining about lack of sun and lots of snow. Lol

You missed your calling, Brian. You should be a self-help guru or a motivational speaker. Maybe both!
