I love reading through this. Typically, I would read your blog and then keep forgetting to leave a comment. Today is one of those days I am able to sit down with a good cup of tea and really read through it.
First, I love classic and it's great that you're putting it out there for a prelude to your blog. It's been a while since my ears are blessed to hear such music.
Also, I think sometimes we forget to enforce our boundaries. We keep giving and giving and weirdly enough, we become invisible to others.
"People don't think that you have a life."
At least that what I found when I didn't enforce my own boundaries. Now that I do, they know I have a life and is actually being respectful about it.
I wish that you'll have a great weekend. See you around and hope you get so share some unique flowers!
