The Good, Random, Fun ~ Week 15

the GOOD

In 2016 I'm attempting to do #52weeksofstorytelling with a different theme each week.

Week 14/52 - Solitude

As an introvert, I need to seek out times of solitude on a daily basis. My favorite ways are to get up before everyone else and read, or go out for a walk/run. Often, though, one of my girls will ask to join me on my walk and it's hard to resist that. This past week I was getting desperate so I announced that I had errands to run...no one wanted to join me and I had a lovely time wandering in and out of stores...not shopping, just wandering and recharging. I used to feel bad about wanting or needing time alone, but now I embrace it because it helps me be a better wife and mom.

more GOOD

We live near a park that is lined with these cherry trees that bloom pink every year. It is so beautiful, and I make every effort to walk through them daily when they are blooming. 

the RANDOM
dogwood blooms, frog friends, bouquet beauties
pink trees and Mt. Hood, highly edited spider web, my one lilac bloom
another dogwood bloom, more dewy spider webs, matching shoes

the FUN
carrying on with my 365_today prompts
(my participation in these is starting to wane...)
flora, fauna, friendship, fifty-fifty
