It was wonderful. I hope your manifesto is a fitting reflection of you, Cookie.

Now that I have my manifesto, if something...an invitation, a purchase, an event...is offered, I do not accept that invitation, or make that purchase, or attend that event, unless it's essential to my manifesto. Of course there will always be exceptions, but on the whole, my life revolves around my home. So this is a good one for me :) Love, Mimi xxxMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189100084557458199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-65711256678817628882017-07-12T11:08:48.743+10:002017-07-12T11:08:48.743+10:00Thankyou Lynda.

I LOVE ROSES. This has been so very thought provoking and elicited so many wonderful memories of my Nana. She would go for walks with a scissors in hand and if she saw a rose in someone's garden that she passed, she would knock on the door and ask if she could cut a slip. Then she'd bring it back to her little garden, place the slip in the ground and cover it with a mason jar and after a while she had a new rose bush. My Mom had a love for white roses and filled her garden with every species of white roses that I think ever existed including climbing ones. The love of roses is in my genes. <br />I'm still working on my manifesto. Thanks for the nudge.

I've known of families who make Family Mission Statements and such but I've never incorporated anything of the sort into my own life. And now with only have two remaining daughters at home, I need to figure out my manifesto for sure. It's going to be tough. There is so much that interests me. A top three kind of makes me nervous. lol But I love yours and I love your demonstration of how you arrived at it! And I also love the description of your journey to school as a wee tot. :) <3 <br /><br />xoxo,<br />MelindaMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765701939855475700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-84708700726521223712017-06-10T00:20:03.749+10:002017-06-10T00:20:03.749+10:00Oh Mimi your manifesto is just so you!
