Sea Salt Ice Cream

My flavor of the month is sea salt! 

Sweet.  Salty. 

Sea salt Ice cream~

It taste just like summer! 

It's like diving under a BIG blue wave, coming up with warm

 sunshine on your face, then licking your lips laced with drops of saltwater.

A must for every human being in my opinion.

Soooooo.

 So. 

Yummy! 

My favorite way to eat it is in a cone!

~I hope your summer is being good to you!
Hugs to all my little mermaids~

Anyway

Do you ever feel like you are transparent, misunderstood or not known even to those very close to you?

I do.

My big brother once told me....

"When you do good and it is not good enough,

do good anyway.

When people are unreasonable or selfish,

love them anyway.

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,

 build anyway."

 I listen to my brother. 

I have built my whole life and my friendships with nothing but time, care and love.  

But now I need to know...

When a close friend comes to me and says "I miss you"....
 because she disappeared from my life, leaving me hurting, leaving me wondering, leaving me asking for way too long what is wrong. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting...now tells me it was all about her own made up demons...

Or
when a friend doesn't know anything about me or my life anymore, good or bad, because she so rarely asks about me but still wants more from me than I can give,

do I give it anyway? 

Hugs to you all!

XO

Here She Comes...

I can feel the summer wind.

The warm sand will bury my toes.

The gentle evening falls with warm soft winds...
I am grateful. I so love the air. I love the song of summer.
&
the scent of sweet jasmine in the salty crisp air~

Sending all my love to you today
Mon Aimes!

Pillow Talk

Do you believe in pillow talk?

27 years ago today...
I married my best friend, my lover, my trainee, my teacher to all things I never knew, my planner, my tour guide, the father to my children, my partner on this earth and not on this earth~
Everyday, every single morning during our pillow talk we planned our dreams, built our life & still are happily ever after....

To have and to hold.
Forevermore.

XO's

Have A Beautiful Week my Precious Friends!!
