Making potpourri always seemed magical to me.
I have always dreamed of owning a lavish garden overlooking the sea. I see myself sitting there in the midst of lilacs, linden, nut and chestnut trees, beds of fragrant roses, lavender fields, peonies, pansies, wisteria, clematis, night blooming Jasmine, ranunculus, Day and Easter lilies, iris, rosemary, all the different types of sage and thyme, and so much more…writing bad poetry while sipping on a cool drink.
I see myself strolling through my garden pruning, cutting and gathering flowers to make potpourri.
Unfortunately, it is still just that…a dream. But that does not stop me from making potpourri.

I dropped an antique porcelain coffee cup the other day, one of my favorites, and it upset me. I was mad at myself for not being more careful with something so fragile. I got so wrapped up in the moment that I forgot to be careful with something else that is perhaps at times even more fragile...myself.
Sometimes, I forget to forgive me, myself. I run around trying to get everything done that I should do and need to do. I find myself trying to live up to my expectations, trying to be strong. I get so wrapped up in doing, instead of being that I forget how fragile we as people or better said as souls can be. One wrong look or word can cause so much damage. I'm trying to remember to be more kind with others and with myself.
