Just a Spritz~

I used to buy perfume 

& 

wait, 

for a 

"Special Occasion"

to wear it.

As I have continued my 

journey,

I have come to realize that every day

is special.

There is no reason to wait.

There are no promises,

and every day is a gift.

When I moved recently,

I found many bottles of perfume 

that were waiting for such an occasion

that never came.

I have since let them go

& 

made a promise to myself.

Treat every day as the special gift 

that it is.

There will never be another like it.

Brrrr~

Today,

I got up early and went to photograph 

the sun rising over the mountains.

It was a chilly morning to do it,

but the photos were beautiful.

I was hoping there would be more 

colors in the sky, 

but the blue & white came out 

beautifully in the pictures.

It would have been easier 

to stay snuggled down 

& 

stay inside,

but I would have missed 

so much.

Sometimes,

you have to get out of 

your comfort zone to 

have some pretty amazing 

experiences...

Excited~

I couldn't be happier!

I have never been this close to a Sam's Club 

before. 

Usually I have to travel an hour each way 

to get my pictures & canvas prints made.

Not any more...

Just across town & I can get everything done.

They have the newest print machines.

I got a few of my pictures printed tonight 

& 

they are Beautiful!

To top it all off,

they might be using some of my pictures

to show at our new store in the photo department.

Never stop believing in your dreams...

Frustration~

If you have ever been part 

of the VA system, you will know 

the frustration that 

comes along with it.

In my quest to break the hold

that migraines have 

over me & my life 

I have traveled down many paths.

Trying to become medication free.

The latest one is taking 

me into acupuncture.

I went today to an appointment,

and had to have injections 

so that they would be able to do 

what they needed to...

Next time.

Deep Breath...

It's not a race, but a journey.

I just have to stay the course...
