Love grows and brings us closer
Lust stagnates and separates us.
Passion feeds my soul
Lust isolates it.
Ambition propels success
Lust prevents it.
Love looks for good
Lust runs away from itl.
Love looks to God
Lust hides from Him.

The pond near church was filled with these beautiful huge water lilies this morning. I shot this right after Mass.

Sometimes Stellar Storyteller Six Word Story Challenge July 29, 2017
Today’s challenge is going to be slightly different. I want you to take your favourite film and summarize it in just six words. Let’s see if we can guess what it is!
Here is my entry for this week:
Walking on color over a distance.

Part of our journey on this earth is to learn patience. We are all pestered with people and things that we cannot avoid. Lets face it, our own children can become the biggest pests there are. We love them, but often we find ourselves out of patience with them.
I find that as I have gotten older my patience has increased. I can tolerate the same things my kids did when my grandchildren do them. Although I am not sure if this is because I have learned to be more patient, or if unconsciously I am some how getting even with my kids. I love this saying. “Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children.” I am not sure where it is from, but I have seen it on many things and places. It is a humerus take on the reward for being patient with your kids.
My oldest daughter was the one who gave me a run for my money. I was a young mother of twenty. Looking back now, I realize that it was more inexperience on my part than actually being impatient. And, we are so much alike. Two very independent, strong willed, often rigid people. I have mellowed so much, but it took me much longer than it took her.
Kelly has grown into a loving, patient mother of three beautiful children who are the light of my life. She also entered into motherhood later in life than I did. Which I think is the key to her earlier success.
Make no mistake, her little ones become pests to her too. Her famous saying when they are driving her crazy and she hears herself say the same things to them that I said to her is: “Are you happy now? You have turned me into your grandmother.” I love it. They look at her and say “You aren’t Grami.” Then I get the phone call from her saying thanks ma, I did’t get one like me, I got three! Like I could control that.
I saw this pillow today and had to grab a shot of it. This is what my Kelly says to me all the time.
Yup, she’s still a pest. 🙂

I shot these this morning with my iPhone on my daily walk. This is one of my favorite trees. The blossoms have such a lovely fragrance.

Bleeding Heart. I think these are so pretty. The white ones turn pink after a while.

Round and round and round I go. In and out and up and down. No beginning no ending in site – what magic plays this cruel trick on me?

It’s always exciting
My first dip in the pool
It means that summer’s arrived.
Get out of the deep
And into the shallow
Mama then called to me.
No mama I can’t
I’ve waited all year
To jump into the deep end.
Life takes courage
Takes heart
I responded with glee.
She gave me the look
You know the look
As her color turned very red
Then smiling I said
Come on mom jump right in
And you’ll see it’s much more fun in the deep.
