Dedicated to Elaine Miklos
if someone special enters your life
count yourself as blessed
if someone special enters your life
be grateful and enjoy the rest
if someone special enters your life
you will fly with no wings
Magnolia Flower
if someone special enters your life
all of your being will sing
if someone special is at your door
do not ever ask for anything more

Footprints of Thoughts 
…..and the perfect flower for this beautiful poem.
I don’t miss a chance when the Magnolias finally bloom here in Chicago, to stop and take in their fragrance and beauty. A rainy windstorm, like the one we are having today always takes its toll on the fragile blooms.

thank you for visiting my blog and your beautiful words…I live just north of you in Wisconsin…rainy here also–but I am happy for the water crystals…last summer’s drought was so hard on Mother Earth! I love your writing! I have nominated you for the “Shine-on Award” and welcome to WordPress Family!

hi neighbor, i had a feeling you were close by. 🙂
yes last year was so difficult, the abnormal out out sequence blooms, the upset equilibrium and natural rythym of things. at least this year a normalcy has returned, and even though rainy 40 degrees chills me to my bones, i’ll take it because it’s how it should be.
you are so kind, i am so happy we’ve met and i’m not sure what to say other than thank you. 🙂

Response to “whocouldknowthen”….Yes, there are rules and requirements (sounds so painful, doesn’t it? lol…for this particular award, I would substitute “rays of sunshine” for “rules” ….) The rules and requirements should be listed on my posting. I am NOT quite sure what to think of this new format. I do NOT like it at all! I think my blog has been hacked! I have noticed that the email address for Administrator was changed some time today to someone I do NOT know! THIS CONCERNS me greatly. I feel so lost tonight because the blog format I grew to learn, is gone! Has anyone else experienced this?

Beautiful post, Jane. We have magnolias out in front. They’re lovely.
Sorry to hear you might have been hacked. I changed my comment section to ‘must be approved by administrator’ each time anyone leaves a comment, and I close all comments after 3 weeks. I hope this is resolved quickly.

I am trying to do what you suggested above…I think I have it in place. The problem I found was that someone managed to CHANGE the email address of the Administrator!

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind comment regarding the post. I just noticed the photo of the “magnolia” has also disappeared! Thank you for the tip about the comment section — if I ever manage to get this squared away. I will have to figure this out—I do NOT even know where to begin…because I cannot get to the usual format where all of the posts are listed. I am LOST! There is no phone number to call for help…

Under your name at the top, should be a list that includes “Help.” That might be a good place to start. I’ve left a comment there before and they did get back to me. Good luck.
