Why I’ll never look at a daylily the same again.

My aunt told me that a daylily only blooms for one day. That’s it. A single day. God made this beautiful flower, on purpose, to live and die in a single day. My aunt told me this on the day that my daughter lived. It was also the day that she died. May 19, 2020.

Emma graduated with her certificate in welding from CSC today! I am so proud of you, Emma. Today was an emotional day for us all, but we were so excited to celebrate with you and honor your accomplishments. I hope you always feel loved, encouraged, inspired, and like the total bad@$$ you are!
In honor of our dear Prudence’s birthday and her entrance into heaven 2 years ago today, please take time to slow down. Be in nature. Notice the beauty around you. Better yet, add to it. Plant some flowers, be kind to a stranger, love deeply, look up at the sky, and praise God for the blessings you have been given. 🙏❤️🙏
I added to my little happy corner in my kitchen this week. I added my new Mother’s Day succulent from my daughter (perfectly reminding me of our budding newfound positive relationship). I put it in an old favorite mug I never use from a favorite place that makes me smile. I propped up my new mini photo book from March from @chatbooks (highly recommend these). I put my palm plant I’ve had for years that was a gift from my husband for my shop that’s now closed. I added a cute little bird I grabbed from my Easter decor box (@target dollar section years ago) that always makes me cheerful. A new lavender seed pot a new and dear friend gifted me for Mother’s Day. A favorite box with blank note cards inside to write cards to friends and family at a moment’s notice. A candle with my late grandma’s picture on it holding Jude that was a gift from my mother-in-law, a sign that was gifted to us from my other mother-in-law at our wedding, and of course a surprisingly decent bottle of discount Pinot noir. It’s all on a little vintage buffet I believe we got at an auction for a dollar. But we love it. It’s even moved with us multiple times. It’s the perfect vessel for this corner. Everything has a meaning and a purpose, and everything makes me smile. ☀️
