I finally published my first book! I was inspired to write my book when my new Granddaughter walked into my garage and picked up my Daughter’s small watering can. Which reminded me of when my own little girl helped me water my flowers… and got me thinking…..
My Daughter is a senior in high school, and I am on the verge of empty nest syndrome. Something I never even gave a thought about. When your kids are little, you are so busy that you never give a second thought that someday they will leave and be on their own. I took each day for granted, never thinking that one day it would end. So here I am, helping my Daughter pick a college and feeling bad for myself. One day my new Granddaughter visits and while we are enjoying a warm day, she goes into my garage and grabs my Daughter’s abandoned watering can. At that moment I realized that my life had just circled around. Although my kids were grown, I still had a new little one to love and be there for. So I started working on a book. Thinking about the flowers we would water, and looking at pics to inspire me.
It is my hope that my book helps other older Mom’s to realize that life goes on. And I also hope it inspires the younger generation to enjoy flowers. As an added bonus, maybe it will remind the younger Mother that the busy, hectic days are temporary. And to savor them. I wish I had such a reminder back then. But I have learned not to be sad at my mistakes, but to learn from them. So I hope that my book is enjoyed by many generations! If you purchase one, please let me know what you think… I would love to hear from you!
