183/365 Pretty Pickings

When I look at my daughters I see how much time has passed and how grown they have become.  And then I remember their sweet young ways when my youngest picks me flowers and brings them home to me like she used to when she was little.

A beautiful surprise gift from my hubby the other day that inspired me to take today's photo of the day.

82/365 Flower Gifts

When I picked up my girl from school she sat in the car beside me and presented me with this rose.  Such a thoughtful gift from her.  I love it how she still thinks of me like she used to when she was little.

81/365 Health

My mother in law asked me for ideas one year of what I might like for a gift.  One of my favourite magazines is Nature and Health and so she bought me a subscription.  What is lovely about this gift is each time a get an issue in the mail I think of her, it's the gift that keeps on giving.  It was interesting that this should come in the mail a day after I took myself off to see the dermatologist to get my regular skin check up.  My father had a melanoma when he was in his mid thirties and with my moley skin, it is extra important for me to get it checked.  I had two moles that my dermatologist wanted to take off, one still needs a little more attention so I will be off to my plastic surgeon specialist to get it removed.  I was very sad to have them removed as I am very careful to stay out of the sun but very happy to now have them removed.  It was a nice reminder for me to never to put off these types of appointments, my health is my wealth.
