I've been quite successful with this garden of mine that i've put together in the past month or so. I have already been able to enjoy two batches of the lettuce I grew, and now my sunflowers are getting stronger and taller; I can't wait for them to bloom in JulyAugust. I've also been enjoying the beautiful flowers that have been growing in the backyard such as roses, geraniums and tulips. Have I mentioned that I have a beautiful wall and ceiling of grape vines growing all around my patio and seating area and I just can't get enough! It's been the perfect spot for anything still and soothing.
Stephen and I just celebrated our official first year together. We kept it simple and sweet with A sushi lunch after finishing my shift, followewd by an evening walk in my new neighborhood. There isn't enough words to describe how lucky I feel to have somebody like him by my side. He's been an incredible friend even in moments I didn't deserve and from that we've established roots that found love in deep places within me where I didn't ever think I could love the way I do now. I can't wait for what the universe has in store for us.
As always, life has obstacles that get in the way from celebrating a thankful life. I am on a pursuit for gratitude for the things that have made their way into my life and have added flavor to my journey. It's this moment as I write this on paper and make it real that has dedicated me to documenting my discoveries. In this moment, I feel alive - even with the good and the bad.
