These past few days I have woken up to the lovely blooms of this flowering tree outside my bedroom window. My hubby will open the curtains in the morning so it is the first thing I see.
It is with this tree that I mark my year, not by birthdays or New Years. I will spend an extra few minutes in my cozy bed and gaze out at my pink blooms of time.
I reflect on the good and bad… youngest off to college ( we planted this tree when I was pregnant with him, my daughter totaled two cars in three months, the second just two weeks ago (now we worry more) feeling very grateful that she wasn't hurt. I started a blog, I have been more creative and doing more art than I have in years…… and as the blooms fade away I will make a list of hopes and dreams……….and look forward to the coming year.

What a blessing to wake up to those wonderful blossoms!
How wonderful your hubby will give you that view in the morning! Blogs are so inspiring, it's amazing how much more creative we can be when we see so much creativity going on around us.
Oh Louise, How lovely to have a beautiful tree like that to mark your memories! My husband raises the blinds in my bedroom too, before he wakes me up. We have a couple of wonderful men!
Hugs,

Hi Louise,
What a gorgeous tree, and how special that you planted it when your son was born - what a beautiful way to mark time.
I am so glad to hear that your daughter is alright - what an incredible relief.
I like that you have a list of fun things to do, as opposed to errands - I will have to try that.

What a beautiful, sentimental tree! A reminder, too, that our children grow & blossom even as they move on from us. (little do they know how hard it is for us to let them 'go') Thank you for visiting my blog ~ yours is a beautiful, peaceful place!
