H is for Hydrangea

A to Z Challenge.....Letter H

H is for Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are one of my most favorite flowers. When I was little we had a whole yard full of Hydrangea Bushes or as I would call them ," the blue snowball bushes". I loved them..love to look at them and pick them and smell them and even lay in front of them and staring up at the lovely baby blue color... They were so pretty. Since then I have tried 3 times unsuccessfully to grow bushes at my new house. I believe it is a combination of the poor soil quality and the lack of afternoon sun but either way they have never taken...BUT when I stepped out of my house the other day, I saw some green leaves spouting off a long believed dead Hydrangea bush. I dont know what the change is but I am hoping that it takes and keeps growing. I would love to have my very own in my front yard for years to come :)

G is for Gnome

G is for Gnomes

“Do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy? There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: we know her woof, her texture; she is given in the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, conquer all mysteries by rule and line, empty the haunted air, and GNOME mine unweave a rainbow.”

~John Keats quotes

E is for Ears...Mickey Ears °O°

This is the last time time that I worn Mickey Ears. Even though since this picture was taken, I have probably been to Disney about 75 times, I have never worn them again. This is not because I don't like them. In fact, I love them. I love to see people wearing then. Old and Young proudly wear them and they are usually accompanied by a big smile. They seem make people happy, carefree , even young again. The ears come in all different sizes and colors now..and they even have ones with top hats and veils for newlyweds(so cute) . I have wanted to buy myself a pair every time i have been to the 'happiest place on earth' but I have never done it. The reason why???? I am too self conscious to wear them.I feel like I would stand out in a sea of mickey ears. I know this is just my own demons and this is something i am working on. So in a couple months I am going back to Disney and I am vowing to be the first on line at the Main Street Hat Shop and finally getting my own pair of ears and wear them proud down Main Street USA . No more insecurity..Only a big ol' smile :) ........ (reports to follow)

my pick-me-up

I am my own best defender. A staunch advocate for why I am always right and never wrong. I am a master manipulator, a expert in excuses. I can talk myself out of most things that are uncomfortable or displeasing to me. I am so skilled at it that I convince myself and those around me of why it is actually the best road for me...when i know its not. This why I am in the situations I am in ... this why I am unhealthy. So I have decided to become my very own "Devils Advocate". Enough is Enough. I was tired of lying to myself, convincing myself, condoning my bad habits and behavior. I need to become my own devils advocate to tell me what i NEED to hear not what I WANT to hear. I can no longer go on living the way i have been living...i need to hear that unappealing other voice...telling me why i don't need that bread or cake or how i DO need to work out when I am convincing myself that I am too tired or busy or its raining out haha. (any excuse to get out of working out) When my soft side was telling me that 'i will do it tomorrow' or 'take it easy cause you work so hard' , my devils advocate side will tell me that there will never be a tomorrow, the time is NOW and that if I don't do it I will die...YES DIE!... my devils advocate will not be fooled by my excuses or whining, She knows that heart disease, diabetes, breast , bone and thyroid cancer runs in my family and that it is only a matter of time until I will have one of those diseases...she will stand firm in her convictions despite being unpopular, depsite my unwavering convictions to the contrary......but in the end i know she is right and that I need that voice inside my head or I will never get healthy...and I will Die.
