Think About These Things

Down the Path

Posted on March 10, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Here are two pathway pictures taken in the Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo, NC. Do you prefer the winding path where you can’t see the end, or the straight path, where the end is clearly visible? I have to say that I prefer the winding one, although in life, I always feel that I want to know what’s going to happen. But maybe I really don’t…life is so much the better for the surprises, the “wow, I didn’t expect that”, the bends and turns and beauty discovered after time. And so this is what my brain is thinking about on a Monday morning….I think another cup of coffee is in order. 😉 Slainte, Lisa

Different

Unless you start doing something different,
you are in for more of the same.

And in the end,
it’s not the years in your life that count,
it’s the life in your years.

~ Abraham Lincoln ~

Cut not the wings of your dreams,
for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.

~ Flavia ~

Life can only be understood backwards,
but can only be lived forwards.

Blessings for your Thursday; live forward, different, fully, flying. Lisa

Looking for a Place to Shine

Posted on March 5, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the light. To the sunshine, to smiling people, to laughter, to music, to water dancing diamonds in the day. My soul cries out for those things and needs them like food. God calling out to me….that’s how He does it. With light and beauty and music; all saying “I’m here…I’m here.” Today I’m going to try to be one of those sparkly, smiley people; with His help, I’m going to look for my place to shine. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa

Cameras

Posted on March 4, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

What started out to be a picture of some cool rocks turned out to be a picture of people taking pictures. 🙂 Cameras, touring, snapping pictures that later will be memories….all a very big part of traveling for most people. It’s always interesting to see if the cameras reflect the people’s personalities: the little pink one for the young girl, the ultra compact for the European traveler, the larger one for the more “serious” photographer. Sometimes the camera choice just means that that’s the camera you have, or the one you can afford. All I know is that as much as I like my bigger camera, sometimes when I’m traveling it gets to be a pain. And I long for a little small pocket 35mm that I used to have back in college that long ago went to camera heaven. What’s your camera preference when traveling? Slainte, Lisa

Beauty and Mystery

Posted on March 3, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

There is something about Spanish moss that gets me every time. Beautiful, mysterious, atmospheric. This was taken in the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, NC. Stepping into these gardens is like entering a different world for a while. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area. Slainte, Lisa
