Raising a family means everybody else comes first. But these days I am making a point of making time for myself to do the things I love. I agree, I am happier because of it.

My front porch has been my refuge in the last 4 weeks, listening to the birds and watching the lizards protect their territory, and of course my monarch babies. So glad you followed that voice, she seems to know better than we sometimes. xo Love the contrast of the flowers and that background.Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-78970849390703940472013-04-11T06:07:44.010-07:002013-04-11T06:07:44.010-07:00Beautiful image and words that are so true!
