Earlier today I was thinking about something that caused me to say to myself “If I could, I would,” and it made me consider other things I would do if I could.
Maybe the “could” isn’t possible; maybe it’s an excuse; or maybe it’s an aspiration – but regardless, identifying these things can pave the way toward new goals and accomplishments, or, equally important, putting things to rest and moving on.
Today’s post contains for you 15 interactive statements I framed around the question of “If I could … I would.”
For photographs to accompany the items, I’m using some new pictures of tulips and daisies. Recently I posted A Perennial Favorite with my photographs of daisies, and also included tulips I bought at the same time.
These are some of the longest thriving flowers I’ve ever had, and I’ve enjoyed continuing to take photos of them over these past six days with no end in sight yet! Some of the new photographs are in today’s post.
The tulips are especially appropriate for an “If I Could … I Would” post because in addition to signifying great love, tulips also represent rebirth and new beginnings since they’re one of the first flowers to bloom each spring.
Unlike with three previous posts My Little Blue Typewriter; I Like … ; and Check In With … Yourself, I didn’t provide my own answers to the 15 statements as I’m still thinking about them!
