i forgot

i can't remember where i took this shot - i know it was about a month ago because the dogwood is blooming. 

reading some james baldwin this morning in addition to my normal book that i always have started.  baldwin is always the sort to be "in your face" about stuff but always a good reminder with "not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced." 

it's mother's day weekend so i hope all of you that still have mommas out there squeeze her a bit for me.  for those who's momma's have passed - my heart is with you.  i miss mine everyday, but more so this weekend.

i was going to write more but honestly...i forgot.  hope you're having a beautiful day.

    I like that "not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced" -- I'm copying that down!!!

    I'm with you Char...miss my mother all the time but much more at holiday times and especially at Mother's Day. Let's give ourselves a hug and remember that our mothers still love us! xo

    I miss my momma too Char...it's been 7 years now and I still wish I could hug her and enjoy a chat with a cup of tea...such a simple thing but it's the simple things that mean everything.

    I'm sorry your mom isn't with you, Char. I know you carry her in your heart everyday.

    We probably have close to a month before our dogwood blooms.

    You're such an intellectual lady!

    I just wanted to say I really like the look of your photo. Very mood-inducing for our semi-rainy day.
