'Your Song' - Elton John

I have decided to do a little mini blog series of my favourite words and quotes on my photos.  

This week's needs no explanation really.

This little lady has come into the world and made life even better than it was.  

I love the words to 'Your Song'- we had a harpist on our wedding day during the ceremony and she played four songs.  One of them was this one.  We walked down the aisle to 'Fields Of Gold' and the harp is the most beautiful instrument.  Whenever I hear these two songs in particular, I get goosebumps.  

I love these black and white images of LL- she is growing up fast.

I have an obsession with words.  

They tell a story.  They set a scene.  They can make you laugh.  They can make you cry.

Yet I also love taking photos.  

Photography is my passion, I love how you can snap a photo in a second and that memory is forever captured for you to remember.

I love song lyrics.  Reading them aloud so they sound poetic, I can really resonate with what the song writer is trying to say.  Likewise I also love quotes.  I find myself looking at pinterest constantly for inspirational quotes and meaningful words that look pretty and visual too.

So I thought why not do my own?

Hence my new little blog series 'Words'.

 Just words that mean things to me, written on photos that mean even more.

A very apt first one. 

One of my favourite bloggers Lucy at Dear Beautiful Boy has started a fabulous new linky which is all about being 'Inspired'.  I adore this idea because I love to be inspired and 2012 I have decided is my year to achieve my dreams.  This week Lucy has set the theme of words which I love because I for one absolutely love quotes and inspirational messages.  

First up I need to show you my all time favourite quote.  My lovely husband proposed to me and with my ring was a goody bag full of bits for our engagement weekend which was a surprise trip to Edinburgh.  He bought me a card and in it he said, I hope you say yes!  The card was simple with just the words 'When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.'  I adored the quote and so as a surprise one day Mr E made me this which is one of my most treasured possessions-

I love this quote and it totally sums up how I felt about Mr E, I just wanted to marry him as soon as possible and start our new life together.

I could literally go overboard with the quotes but I thought I would set myself the theme of 'Achieving'- All these quotes sum up to me how I am feeling at the moment.

I love this one and wholeheartedly agree with what it is saying.  I for one am a real worrier, mainly about finances and things like that, but I do worry about other things as well.  I am a firm believer in what is meant to be will be.

I also love this one.  I have so many dreams, wishes and goals for 2012.  But I often end up putting them off because life and it's mundane activities get in the way.  I think this quote totally sums up how I am feeling at the moment- don't put off starting things or trying to achieve your dreams as you will regret it.  

Finally the last one, although I could go fill up my whole blog with these inspirational messages is this one.  Again it is another motto that I am trying to live 2012- never give up.  I firmly believe that if you work hard, aim big and never give up, you will achieve your dreams.
