I know it’s been a while but I’ve been quite busy and unable to really pen my thoughts. Here is a little poem I did for the group I’m in. The challenge was to incorporate these 8 words into your poem: GRUDGE, GRIME, GROWTH, GRUMBLE, GREEN, GREAT, GROSS, GRATITUDE.

Hope you like..

 

I’VE GROWN

I’ve grown.

There’s no point in me holding a grudge

I’ve grown.

I want to extend the gratitude I feel within.

No longer green to this world we live in,

But accepting the trials, joys, lessons and mistakes,

I make along the way.

I’ve grown.

Why grumble and complain about what life hasn’t given?

With growth you see how great you can become.

I’ve grown.

Still young and dirty with grime of my past,

But there’s always that promise,

That with time,

Life has taught me to look at the full picture,

And the gross is what I’ve managed to make lemonade of.

I’ve grown.

 

It’s been a while.. too long actually, since I had cheese straws. What?!? You don’t know what cheese straws are?! Well they are just the BEST snack ever!!!!!! OK, seriously, they’re a herbed cheese pastry. My mother used to bake a lot when we were younger and this was one of my favorites.

(Sorry if I told this story before but I guess you’ll read it again :D) A few weeks ago my husband and I drove past somewhere and what we’d smelt reminded us of cheese straws, since then we’ve had a craving for them. I’ve always been the “chef’s assistant” to my mum when she baked but never paid close attention to measurements – I’m really thankful for Skype today. I’d bought the ingredients earlier this week and 2 more today to surprise my husband this evening with this treat :). I can now put Cheese Straws under my belt with Apple Crumble for my baked goods :).

I wish you could taste them. They’re awesome!!
