Welcome to my corner of this wonderful community where I share my poetry, short stories, and occasional photos. My husband and I have been married for almost thirty-five years, and we have two adult children. Our furry family member is Copper, an 80-lb chocolate lab mix, and he just turned 13 years old. I have published two collections of poetry: New Day, New Dreams (2013) and Finding a Balance (2015). My memoir, More than Coffee, was published in 2021, and my recent publication is a poetry collection titled Ever So Gently released in July. I have finished my first children’s book and am working with my illustrator with plans to publish in 2024. When you visit, I hope you find something to take with you, but that you also find something enticing enough to keep bringing you back. I truly appreciate your visit. Cheers, Lauren ❤️

Commenter Award :)

On April 1, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Nominations & Awards42 Comments

I was recently award Commenter Award! by Deb at http://adamsart.wordpress.com. Thanks so much, Deb! The Commenter’s Award is a little different from the most awards. Instead of awarding others for their own blogs, you will be giving recognition to those who comment on your own blog regularly, take the time to really read your posts, and provide you with feedback via their comments. The nominations are the easiest part. You should nominate the six bloggers who comment most frequently on your blog. How do you know who does this most often? Good question!

You will find your Top Recent Commenters on your site stats page on the bottom, right corner. If you do not see this, click on the Screen Options in the top, right corner and be sure that “Comments” is checked. If you are good about responding to every comment, then you will be the first one in the list. It is the next six commenters on the list that you will nominate and pass this award to. But wait! You may nominate one more person. This person can either be a brand new commenter on your blog, the very last comment you have received (most recent), or the one who has posted your most favorite comments. This seventh nomination is your choice, but please do tell us why you have chosen them as your seventh.

Here are my top “commenters” and I am truly grateful for their continuing support!

My new blogging friend – https://mysweatyshirt.wordpress.com

Gabby – http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com

Lane – http://willofheart.wordpress.com

Celeste – http://celestealluvial.wordpress.com

Cynthia – http://songsofseasons.wordpress.com

Deb – http://adamsart.wordpress.com

I can’t just choose one person for my seventh nomination, so I’m choosing everyone on my blog roll and since it’s not currently updated, everyone else who has visited and supported me by providing your feedback. You all deserve it and as we all know, everyone has different times of the day, week or month, where blogging is permitted, in which we have time to “like” or “comment.”

And if you are new to commenting here…this award is for you too! :-)

A Bit of Canine and Comfort

No limits exist

Stretch your imagination

Visualize your dreams

Set aside playtime

Do something for you alone

Your company counts

🙂

I was moved by Jason’s lovely prayer and I hope you enjoy, too. If you haven’t visited his blog, please do; he writes beautifully~
Blessings for a wonderful Thursday!

Copper, Our New Family Addition

On March 28, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Pets49 Comments

Please Welcome, Copper, the chocolate lab!
He’s 18 months old, very lovable, cuddly,
calm and gentle. He needs to put on a few more pounds,
but other than that, he’s healthy and just a big, goofy boy!

We’re adopting Copper on a trial basis,
with hopes of keeping him, if all works out.
We hope it does because we’ve all just about
fallen in love with him.
Lucky Girl will remain
in our hearts, but the timing is right
to start new again
with another canine friend.

We’ll be in an adjustment period and I’m already behind
in reading blogs, because of “doggie” searching.
So, my time may be limited, but I will still do my best to visit you!

I hope you understand and I wish you all a wonderful,
peaceful Wednesday! xo

Over the hill and still a kid!

Candles yesterday

Burned brightly for fifty-one

Another life year!

Secret surprises

Gifts of love, hugs and laughter

Celebrating life

My family blindfolded me, yesterday, on our way to my birthday lunch.
Our destination was seafood on the bay, exquisite!
And…the best cheesecake and apple pie, ever! 🙂

I wish you all a blessed and peaceful Monday~xx

Love Again

As sure as leaves will fall
at season’s change
and rain will drop
as clouds rearrange
I have fallen through new doors opened
the key I thought was lost forever
you have found so cleverly
the lock had suffered
yet, not broken for eternity~

(for new beginnings)

Forever Love

Faint is how you make me feel and not
Only when our lips connect, but when I
Remember our first embrace and how my
Emotions twirled inside of me, dizzy and
Voiceless, I was and those moments still exist
Even though decades have come and gone
Reflections of those first days are rainbows
Learning the true meaning of bliss, an
Out of the ordinary feeling, knowing you are my
Valentine, lover and friend for the rest of our life together and for
Eternity~
