EllynB Thanks for your honest comment tammyr It is good to know there are more people struggling with the same issues. I am trying to understand, but it is so hard for me too. I am not going to stop loving him, and I just have to stop being upset about being angry at...

I have just pruned my four rose bushes. Pruning perhaps implies that I know what I'm doing whereas in actual fact I don't. The bushes were getting very unkempt and needed tidying up. This has now been done. I know the centre of...

EllynB @JudyEv I remembered the name of the roses I tried to grow. They are miniature roses, often found around Valentines Day as an alternative to giving cut bouquets. I think they are beautiful.

EllynB Authors beware. It is a risk we take as writers. This is why I put the question out there for all of you. Thanks for your honest input. It is true, if you do not share the book, the author will not get read. It. Is our goal to get our books into as many...

So I jumped on board with our work incentive program. We all had the chance to purchase a personal Garmin Vivofit 2. I was excited! So I jumped all in, set it up connected it with a nutrition app and away I go. Three days into it,...

EllynB @trivia79 it is a fitness band worn on your arm. It tracks your steps and tells you when you need to get up and move. Each day the device I have, gives suggested steps needed per day and it continues to increase daily. I am sure it will stop increasing after a...

EllynB @JudyEv the children's plants are outside. I was referring to the potted tea roses for inside. I haven't had any luck with these. They are easy to overwater and winter in the North is too cold, even in the house. I have a black light for my summer seeds, so I...

EllynB It is far more complicated than I thought. I do like the smell of a good cigar, but I still cannot sit around in a room of smokers. I can't imagine what they go through to quit, I only know the addiction is real. I applaud those who quit for good, and I pray...

EllynB You are exactly right. He never really quit. He traded a cigarette for another device. It was a step in the right direction, or so I thought.

EllynB Great job for him Marlina. I was hoping this is how our story would go. It is amazing how the mind works. His said no forever and others say no until something else happens. The human brain is a fascinating thing.
