Spring is here!!!

Well so far on my journey to "Becoming Ann" what I have found out to be true of myself is that I really do like working out in my yard. I love it!! I love to mow, I love to pull weeds, I love to pick up sticks and tear down brush. I love all of it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. I love to look back at the end of the day with a glass of wine and just look at how the yard looks and how much my hard work paid off. Something else I have found to be true of myself is that I really do like to garden. I like to get in the dirt and pull the weeds from around the plants. I like to check in on their progress and I get excited when I see the flowers on my plants because I know that soon I will have fruit!!! I love to take my son out in the garden and he loves to pick the fruit right off the plant and eat it. I harvested our peas for the first time and he was coming along right behind me eating the hull and all right out of the basket and loving it!!!! So what I do know now of myself is that I truly love being outside working with my hands in my yard and garden!!! Welcome Spring!!!

Who is Ann?

I'm starting my journey off on the right foot and asking myself the question "Who is Ann?" I'm HOPEfully optimistic that this journey will answer my question. My journey has started me off sitting in my front porch rocking chair on this gorgeous April afternoon. The birds are singing their approval and their song brings a smile to my soul. As I rock back and forth I start reflecting on my life. I realize that I cannot answer the question of "Who is Ann?" I have made a decision to basically keep a diary of my journey with no agenda or time table. I am starting with a feeling of nothing to offer, but I have high HOPE that at the end of this journey I will be able to introduce you to Ann who has everything to offer.
