The waves crash and fill the senses like the voice of God
The sound washes to shore peacefully like the whisper of a breeze
Seagulls dive and call like clarions on the wind
Salt air blows and clears your mind like a good night’s sleep
Soft sand surrounds your feet like the sweetest down
Peace descends on your heart….you are there, you are loved, all is well.
Slainte, Lisa
Warning: The following post is a shameless plug for Thomas’ English Muffins. If you have a keen dislike of a nooks and crannies-filled delectable morsel of a muffin, topped with butter and orange marmalade, you may want to discontinue reading immediately.
Yes, it’s that kind of morning….things a little out of the normal, schedules slightly askew, and finally things are settled down. And I am sitting down with said delectable 100 percent whole wheat English muffin as we speak. In fact, I am hardly able to write this post as it is calling to me even now….”Take another bite, take another bite.” You know how those English muffins can be. Persistent and so cute that they’re hard to resist. And I’m not going to resist a moment longer. Enjoy your simple pleasures today…they can sometimes be the best. Slainte, Lisa
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer
Walk today knowing that God loves you so much. Blessings, Lisa

I don’t know about you, but I could use some good laughter right about now…go ahead, you know you want to. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

True confession time: when my son was small, we were a Barney, yes the big purple dinosaur, kind of household for a time. As the amazingly agile and light-footed dinosaur would sing and dance his way through thirty minutes of Barney-world scenarios, things seemed lighter, happier, not so serious.
As an admitted music junkie and an amazingly avid dance fan (for someone who can’t dance 🙂 ), I think Barney’s on to something. I feel the same way when I watch The Muppet Movie and see everyone singing and dancing through the town, “Life’s a Happy Song.” Before I know it, I’m singing along and bopping my head like nobody’s business. I watch “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance” and related hard-shoe fantasticness and any sense of doom and gloom I might have felt prior lifts right away.
So to begin your weekend off right, and to put a spring in your step and a song in your heart….here’s your jumpstart. Slainte, Lisa
P.S. If you start singing Barney or Kermit songs today, hold your head high and sing loud! 😉
