I've been thinking a lot about Spring lately. Sort of wishing Winter away - I know I can't actually wish it away, but I day dream about hurrying it along.

Earlier in the week, I started cleaning out my flower beds, moving away the dead leftovers from the Cannas and the Hawaiian Ginger, but it was cold and the only tool I have is a little cutter

I know I can't actually wish it away, but I day dream about hurrying it along.

*sighs* I know what you mean. To me, these three months after Christmas (from January to March) are the worse, there's no holidays, and days are so cold and long *sighs more*^. I can't wait until Spring comes and everything gets warmer and pretty (and this coming from somebody who have always liked winter... but I guess I'm never happy with what I have, LOL).

If I die tomorrow, I would be so pissed that I wasted this last year.

I've thought this same thing a lot of times in the past months myself, too.

I think that I used to enjoy the seasons more when I was a kid. So, I need to get back into that yippee-Winter!, yippee-Spring! frame of mind. :D

I enjoyed your snow photos, Laura. I don't have snow, but I should get up and get out there and get some frosty ones in the morning. Maybe tomorrow.

Bloom where I am planted, what a great lesson! Thanks Michelle! I hope you bloom beautifully this winter.

I learned it from Mary Englebreit. :D You can see her work here:

I'm going to do my best to get bloomy.

*hugs* I find that really hard, too--being content with where I am. I have such a bad habit of letting my brain run ahead of me to think of what's coming next, instead of just enjoying where I'm at.

That's it - my brain is running ahead of me, too. I need to slow down.

You're right - everyone appreciates positive feedback. :) So many people are so quick to criticize but forget about saying 'good job!'.

I don't see anything wrong with dreaming of the future as long as you remember to live in the present. 'If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.' ~ J.M. Power

'I've decided that yeah, okay, maybe I'm not meant to have a partner.'
Well, don't be too hasty, kiddo. Maybe you just weren't meant to have THAT partner at THIS time. :)

I think that my problem is that I want to hurry everything along. I really am going to try to enjoy each day more.

I think that I'm not someone that a man is going to love for very long. I don't know what it is about me, but it just doesn't work out. If it was going to work out with anyone, it would be Steve, because he likes the things about me that other people don't. Not everybody spends thier life with a partner and I've been single for 14 of the last 16 years. That's a very long time.

I totally support your 'enjoy each day' theory. If you take time to make all those mental snapshots, you will be able to reflect on many nice things in years to come. :)

Who knows why things don't work out? They usually do in the movies. I think things are so much more complicated these days, often with ex spouses (sometimes more than one), children, and stepchildren to juggle/take into consideration. And then there's the practical issue of alimony and child support which sometimes doesn't leave a person much disposable income. :)
