The Clouds Roll In

All of us can see the clouds coming if we look hard enough….they are always coming. But if we let them stop the living, then we stop living. What if it rains? What if I get wet? What if it spoils our day? Or….what if we have an awesome day, right here and now? What if we run on the beach and not mind if we get wet? What if we feel the wind on our faces, taste the raindrops and thank God above that we are alive and here now?

Feel the rain, and enjoy the clouds. The day is here, now. Slainte, Lisa

Happy in the Rocky Places

I’ve always been impressed by trees and flowers that can hang on and thrive in rocky inhospitable places. At first, I begin to feel sorry for them, but then I realize that that is ridiculous, as these strong little miracles are amazing, and strong, and happy where they’re planted. The wind blows, the soil is far down, but they grow deep roots and grow. And they tell us so much. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere, this beach, these chairs are waiting…

Waiting for work-weary bodies to sink down into them

Waiting for the island breezes to blow

Waiting for the surf to tickle their legs and wash away the weight

Waiting, peacefully with no worries

Have a blessed weekend. Slainte, Lisa

What If It Tilted?

I sometimes love to take strange pictures…ones that aren’t quite straight, not lined up correctly. Why? Just because I get tired of the same old thing and just want to see the world a little differently. What if the world went sideways for a day? You know, like in one of those funhouses, where the room is tilted and you can’t walk straight? I guess I should be very thankful that the world doesn’t actually tilt so that I can feel it; that gravity and all those other forces I don’t quite understand keep me feeling upright and standing firm. Because a disoriented and falling around Lisa can be a scary thing. 🙂 May your feel be solidly planted today, and may God keep you upright and planted on the Rock. Slainte, Lisa

Nothing Small About It

“Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift – there is nothing small about it.” – Florence Nightingale

“Remember, there are no small parts, only small actors.” – Konstantin Stanislavski

God has breathed the breath of life into each one of us, and has given us an amazing life to live. And none of us are small in His eyes. Ever. Slainte, Lisa
