If your heart could speak...

If your heart could speak..., originally uploaded by byjen.

Life has distracted me from my computer once again. And here I am again with zillions of ideas and plans swirling in my head. It's sometimes overwhelming to be inspired by so much. Recently my hubby and I went on one of our typical dates--we hung out at a local bookstore. As usual, he finds one or two books and plants himself at a table and I roam the bookstore in various different sections and come back with a huge stack of books and magazines. This night was no different. I looked through craft books and puppy books (I have to add that life with Sprinkles is wonderful. She is such a sweetie) and I flipped through craft magazines and holiday idea books (by the way, my Christmas "Believe" did not make it into this year's Somerset's Holiday & Celebrations issue. Maybe there's hope for a December issue). But I also found a table with inspirational books. In one of the books (silly me, I did not write down the name of this book) there were various quotes and statements scattered throughout the pages. And I was struck by the above question, "If your heart could speak, what would it say?" My heart would tell me it is overflowing with love for my wonderful husband, my beautiful girls, my family and friends. It is full of passion for all things creative. But it is also full of desires and dreams that remain unfulfilled. So it's time to get back to work on that. So here's to working hard to make these dreams and desires into my reality. And here's to living a life I love.

So what would your heart say?
