I think this may be my favorite
oil of all time and I love the fact that it has grown in my garden for  years.   The smell is just  ahhh mazing !   I love to share a fresh sprig bouquet with people.  If you have not tried this fantastic oil, I would highly recommend it, and plant some in your garden.  

If there is someone in your life that means the world to you and that relationship is off course for some reason, put aside your differences and make it right.  Life is short and there are only so many days that we get to share.  No one is perfect and we all need the grace of God.  I know I am thankful for it everyday.  I get it, that we just do not understand why some people do the things they do.  I get it that we may not always agree on choices people make.  Ultimately they will answer for their choices.  God gives us all free will.  He knows the outcome of our choices, good and bad.  He tries to guide us in the right direction.  It is our choices that takes us on the path we walk, good and bad.  Love the people God gave you.  He will want them back one day. 

  Today I am recovering from vacation, you know the feeling, when you get home, get everything carried in, taken care of and sit down, and think about all you did, and enjoyed.  The feeling of, geesh, that was alot of work.   I am very lucky because almost everything is already at our cottage.  I am also very lucky that a few years ago we got a new washing machine, I mean what an up grade, all automatic, load size, temperature of water.  Wow...I was so used to the wringer washer...Add all hot water, wash whites first, then towels and sheets,  then colors, then darks, and by the time you got all that done the water had cooled off.  On a good windy day the sheets would be dry in time for the darks to go on the line.  This is a time when people had a sense of pride, for how things were done, making sure it was right.  When things were built to last.  Even relationships.  Time was invested and shared, people were of value.  Thinking back, I am very, very blessed.  To have learned from people that were so hard working and of such good character, I hope I can pass it on.  The value of hard work, good character and caring about people.  i have great memories of this vacation, thanks to the people in my life. 

So today I would like to tell you that I love the outdoors and being at the lake.  I love swimming and boating.  I think of all the time that I had spent with my family at our cottage and all they taught me about being a good person,  caring about nature,  enjoying the company of the people that God gave us.  Just spending time making dinner and enjoying sitting down to the table, a time to reflect on the day with the people closest in our life.  After dinner sitting, visiting, watching people fishing, or fishing our selves. Waiting for the sunset.  Hoping for another beautiful day tomorrow. Always thankful.
