It has been awhile.

What?

That minute I have dedicated to going back through photos of the previous month. And instead of wondering where the time has gone, I bask in this crazy, chaotic, and purpose driven life I live….and love. Some of it, in all honestly, I don’t want to remember. It is too hard, it puts my feelings out there and it feels vulnerable.

Reality.

And some of it brings light at the right times. Life.

I lost three dear friends this month, and next week will mark the anniversary of my dad’s death. That moment that left me forever changed. You see, my dad always said to find the good, seek the good, and the love that radiated from him always made him right. So amidst the mountains of tears that were necessary and allowed this month, we found the light he talked about. We welcomed a sweet new granddaughter to put life, not death in perspective.

Of course, many of my photos were of family and friends in October, but when I scrolled through the month I realized I spent an awful lot of time in gardens and garden stores. Life…

I won’t share too many gramma photos. Those are personal for now. But I realize the significance of a garden, once again, along with it’s symbolism of revival, passion, peace, and life. And who knows what else?

The gallery is my minute of looking back…
