funny kind of week

beautiful spring morning...and I'm wide awake at 3am
which allows me time to ponder on the last couple of weeks....
its fair to say that they have been full of mixed emotions...
good ..bad..and in between

new jobs tend to do this to me...I get stressed and cant sleep

which inevitably leaves me a bit fragile and emotional

then add another adorable  grandchild into the mix...
and the emotional roller coaster speeds up...

and just for good measure...7 family birthdays in the last 2 months!!!
emotional roller coaster overload... but in a nice way                                                                                                                   

and there's more.....3 bank holidays    

and its at these times that my past always has a way of seeping into my thought path...

needless to say it also reminds me of how truly blessed I am...
and that each individual blog is just a fraction of my very beautiful life

Thank the Lord for my life

Beautiful orchids...heaven scent

These are some snaps of my beautiful orchids .... beauty is in the eye of the beholder

behold the beauty of nature.....

 Orchid Story & Origins. The name orchid is derived from the Greek word “orkhis”. This exotic flower was named by an ancient Greek botanist named Theophrastos who thought that the fleshy underground tubers resembled the male anatomy. There are many types of orchids, with over 20,000 species in the world.

#jealousy#suspicion#Jolene...' Dont take him..... just because you can '

Jealousy, insecurity, 

Jealousy is a natural emotion, but it can be painful and difficult to control.

And just sometimes its really justifyable.....

So your best friend/sister/sister-in-law   is absolutley gorgeous, she is breathtaking, she is everything you always wanted to be...

And even worse you love and admire her very much, s much as it would be easier you just cant dislike her....

So its goes without saying that every one else is going to find her irresistable too ( including your husband )

He dosnt have to say anything....you just know....she would only have to smile that beautiful smile Flash those beautiful eyes  

This is a very difficult situation because although you love spending time with her you definitley dont want HER and your husband in the same place at the same time....

Irrational  YES ??  unfair YES ??  can anything be done to help NO !!!

She will always be that beautiful and you will always be that insecure  ( and rightly so !!!! )

If we get reincarnated can I come back looking like her please!!!

  May God forgive me...
