When I’m in the midst of winter, sometimes it feels that it will last forever. But every year, I’m wrong! Spring and summer come back, the world warms again, sweaters are gratefully put away, and the warmth floods through my body as a tonic. So on this cold day when we’re calling for 5-8 inches of snow, I need to remember that. It’s coming. There’s a bridge leading to beautiful, it will call my name, and I will walk upon it. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
This blog has been quiet lately, and here’s a picture of the reason….presenting Finnegan, or Finn as we call him. He’s a 9 1/2 week old cockapoo, and he’s been at our home now for 3 days. 🙂 After our beloved Fritz passed away in December, we thought, “That’s it…no more dogs…it hurts too much to lose them.” But how can I not ever feel the unconditional love of a sweet dog again? Those big eyes looking up at you, trusting, loving, needing? Well, short answer: I couldn’t. Enter Finnegan. So now we’re head over heels in love already, and busy taking care and training our new puppy baby. I will try to be diligent to update periodically on his progress. If you have a pet in your life, enjoy them as much as you can today. I will do the same. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

Earlier on this particular day, it was windy, so much so that we couldn’t open our car doors at the beach. But we got to this wooded and sheltered path, just 5 miles down the road, and the wind was still. It was warm and cozy and protected.
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’ ” ~Psalm 91:1-2 We all long to be safe, protected, loved, secure. Run to the arms of Jesus; He will keep you right where you’ve always needed to be. Blessings, Lisa
Having room to breathe; space to move; green to gaze upon, blue above. Lovely. Peace. Freedom. Blessings today, Lisa
