Wreck this journal!

Howdy,

Everyone who knows me, knows that I am a perfectionist, one of the side effects of being a perfectionist, is the procrastination and the fear of failure.

I have a tendency to not start things, or delay starting things, as I do not want to fail or I do not finish them, because they are not working out and I just give up.

One of my friends suggested I try a "Wreck this journal" by Keri Smith.

The idea behind the concept is it does not have to be perfect, it is meant to be messy, creative and fun!

I can not wait to get started.

If you would like to try one for yourself, they can be found here.

My Bonsai is blooming!

Hi everyone,

Look at my bonsai. I have had it for 2 years now, and she (I feel bad if I call my bonsai an "it") is looking and smelling beautiful.

She is a Gardenia Radican or a Dwarf Gardenia.

I have been a little bit slack this year, as she requires a re-pot, but that will be on the cards, after I move next year!

A new bud, just opening.

One of the open buds.

Isn't she beautiful.

I can not wait to buy my new house, I think I might have a garden bed full of gardenias, camellias and azaleas.
