"Oh mama, tell me my boy will be home soon?"

"I miss him so when he is gone. *sigh*"

Yes Ducati, Casey will be home today. :)

My 365...

Happy Friday Interwebs. :)

The boys will be home today and I am so excited! They have spent the past two days with their daddy, and I always miss them when they are gone.

To surprise them when they get home, I have cleaned and re-arranged both of their rooms, and reupholstered a desk chair for Casey. I know they will be thrilled. I love doing little things for them because every day they do so many things for mom. I could not ask for more amazing sons.

Last night Garrett called me around midnight, he and Kori were out shopping and wanted to know if they could stop by for a visit. It was great seeing both of them. We enjoyed some cake and some laughs and talking about our favorite subject...dogs! Supra was not with them as he is feeling a little under the weather. Poor dear. :(

I do love them so much. Garrett is always checking in on mama to make sure everything is okay in my world. Thank you son...you are the best!

Blake picked this little flower for me before he left, and there it sits. It has only wilted a tiny little bit, but it still looks beautiful. I am sure he will bring me a fresh one when he gets home. :)

Life is good!

There are two reasons I blog, one is to have a place to post all the photos I have taken, and two, because I love speaking my mind and my heart and the blog is the perfect venue to do that. Writing is freedom. If you have somewhere to release all the things that you have in your mind and in your heart, it can be very uplifting and takes the pressure and the sadness and puts them in a new perspective. I love that.

What this blog is not, is a place for cowards to spy. Let me explain...

Any and all are welcome to read my blog. However, no one is permitted to read my blog then sulk off into a corner and tear it apart...poke fun...make jokes over what I have to say. If you have an opinion, you know how to reach me. Pick up the phone, dial the number, and act like an adult. I welcome the conversation. :)

I have read all the terrible things you have written and they make you appear so weak. They do not affect me in the way you might hope. I am very strong, very confident in my parenting skills and very sincere in all I say. I have nothing to hide. I am proud of the mother I have been and continue to be. If you chose not to be a part of this beautiful family, that is your decision. I respect that.

You see, I am not going anywhere. Life goes on.

Have a fabulous weekend world! It is a little warmer than I like outside, but thank goodness summers are very short lived here in Idaho!

Until next time...

Doggy Daily for June 24, 2010

Just sitting and waiting...and waiting and sitting. The boys are out today and these little friends are so bored. They are not quite sure what to do with themselves when their boys are not home.

Don't worry puppers, your boys will be home tomorrow. :)

Until next time...

My 365...

Casey took a picture of this beautiful rose in our garden. This rose is amazing on so many levels. It knows it is beautiful, it knows it shines. It is tangled in this old rusted fence, but that does not prevent it from showing the flawless beauty the rose has to share with the world.

Sure there are thorns, and those thorns can hurt, but that is not the intention of the thorns. The thorns are there to protect the flower and give the flower a full opportunity to bloom to it's maximum potential before anyone tries to take it away.

Nature knows how it works.

Today is my nephew Eric's birthday. He is one rose that shines so beautifully and completely inside and out. He stands proud and no matter where his roots are planted, he will always look stunning for the world to see.

We all have potential to shine and stand proud. The only way to do that is to open your world and your heart to possibilities. Stop just thinking about what the world can do for you, but what YOU can do for your world.

If you have something important, something of value to say, don't hide. Don't sneak around like a spineless little worm. Don't take precious time and spend it judging people around you. That must be so exhausting. All that time spent in judgement should be time spent in growth, and allowing yourself to shine beautifully for the world to see.

I see you so afraid of truth, and so happy to swim in garbage and untruth and that is sad. You are swimming against a current that will never support you or help you succeed in this game of life. I read everything you say. I feel all the hurt you throw. But what I feel is not sadness and pain within my self. What I feel is sadness and pain for you and the lonely, lost, angry and bitter person you have become living in this life of complete illusion. It must be so lonely where you are.

If you stand by your words, then why do you do everything in your power to hide those words from the people you talk about? That is the true definition of coward. Where is your conviction? What is your battle?

I know two people, a son and a daughter. These two people are the most creative, loving, brilliant people I know and love. But rather than grab life by the horns, let their creativity and brilliance shine, they continue to exist at the bottom of a sad, dark, hidden cave where all the spineless worms thrive. They have to hide from those who love them. They are happy just existing in a world where honesty and integrity do not exist. They are settling for that darkness rather than reaching to their greatest potential and letting the people who "truly" and sincerely love them give them a hand out of the darkness. Not allowing these people to place them squarely on their feet in the brightest lights that can shine. Why is it so much easier to give up?

It is never too late to let your inner rose shine. With love comes forgiveness and freedom. With hate comes deceit and a false support system that will let you fall and not give you a second look.

For my children and for those I love, I will be that rusty fence, I will be those thorns I will hold you up as high as my arms can reach and celebrate the beauty and mystery that is you. I won't encourage hate, anger and bitterness. I will show you love and honesty until the day I die.

Mom
