Love is.../Blue Monday

We live in such troubled times and although we all deserve some private time to collect ourselves , today so many have their "me" time and reject their marriage time. I am not trying to anger anyone or make light of singles but those that are married need to make a stronger commitment. Marriage is so much more than a fancy wedding, all the gifts, the honeymoon. It is a lifetime of trying to maintain a balance. Like making a budget or making sure you have enough money in the bank to cover your expenses we all need to take more time to keep our marriages as the center of our lives. Today I watched my husband with his brother and I thought I am so blessed. He does so much for everyone without complaining. His me time is spent figuring the budget, cooking for the week, doing all sorts of home maintenance. He is a good solid husband and father. This Love is...makes me smile and I hope you visit Marydon and share your favorite Love is...today.

The fourth of July is coming this week! It is a good time to reflect on our country and what it was founded on. I love this vintage image and the blue sky setting the background for the stars and stripes with a red, white and blue theme!

This beautiful blue painting is from zephyrstudioaustin.com and I found it on google images. The blue zinnia makes a pretty conversation piece for your morning cuppa.

I hope you will visit Sally and all the blues! Have a blue ti  ful Monday!
