"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

we dream of gumdrops~

dec. 4

i love
gumdrops
not sure if its the eating or playing with them though
that i enjoy more

gumdrop trees
are always a thing to do
here each year


we have been making these for years
sad to say
at the end of the season
they would be tossed away


it wasn't
until last year
it dawned on me

why not try and see


so tucked away a few trees went


and surprised i was
as i carefully unwrapped each one
no mouse or critter came
all standing just the same
except for a little loss of their sugar sparkle
but i think that may be an easy fix

~will gumdrops be on your list today~

There IS something so fun and magical about gumdrops. I love their bright colors. If I were to make one, it would have to be far from my furry babies - otherwise it would be no more! LOL Theresa

my beliefs include many, constantly seeking knowledge, not needing one particular label that defines me nor trying to justify my thoughts to anyone else but me...this is my life and i am living it my way...bringing happiness to my inner soul.
