The word is COURAGE, and when I came across the quote I have used I thought of my eldest daughter with her life and dreams before her...
I hope you pop over and check out the DT's take on this sketch, I feel we have all put a lot of thought into our layouts, perhaps it was the word that gave us the inspiration..
This is the wonderful sketch from Heather, to use if you wish.. Most of the DT have used it but it is not an absolute requirement.. As long as we see the word for the month on display somewhere on your layout...I have rotated the sketch once clockwise.Don't shrink your dreams, increase your courage.
some closer views..

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing with me, as a result of my last blog post. I've been deal with this for 20 years, mostly my back and neck. There are other things too like sever allergy which really sucks, having had cancer at the afe of 28 really sucked too lol. But my arthritis form is called Riter's syndrome I've had it for almost 24 year but it went dormant but come back to life about 10 years ago and at times my flares would put me in bed for about 3 weeks then I struggle for up to 3 to 5 months as it calms back down. .I.ve not had it this bad ever.
I wanted to be honest and let people know why I'll be around then all of a sudden I disappear with no post or anything from me. I want so badly. To be able to get as many layout as I could, without being controlled by my illness. I wanted so bad to be part of a great design team and know I can fulfill my requirements but I'm so unstable I can guarantee it so again my health has taken another of my enjoyments away.
I used to sell lingerie and had to quit because packing them around was making my back worse. I then got into wedding and birthday decorating but because of the twists and stooping it would be in unbearable pain after. I used to grow by seed and Put in my greenhouse 1500 bedding plants, for me and my mom. My acreage was gorgeous but now because if my back and knees I can't get down and even plant. So as you see everything has been taken away and now the only thing I could do? And my hands swell up like balloons you are so right it so draining it takes your spirit and cause deep depression. My passion for scrap booking is strong so having it taken away too has left me empty.
I don't usually tell anyone, as my outsides don't match my insides. To look at me you would say I'm a picture of health, but truthfully I feel about 20 years older than I am, and I can say that am mean it. Lots joke about it but there are days I can't even get up. Anyway. Thank you for sharing with me your own difficulties I don't feel so alone. Many thanks for stopping into my blog, l wood like to make my blog a more busy place, but just don't know how when I can't join the challenges out there.
Thanks sincerely for stopping in, Hugs Sherry. Sorry for the book I just wrote
Oops I needed a spell check I see. One finger typing makes sherry a bad speller lol. Thanks I pad. It like to change word on you at times too. Oh the fun of it all lol
