Reflection of the Sky

DSCN0652Two pictures, same island, same day.  One with bright blue skies, brilliant sun and clear blue water.  Later that day as a tropical storm rolled in, the differences in the water’s colour are dramatic.  Darker steel blue, not as much clarity.  The water is a reflection of the light, the sky, the sun.  As we are also, or should be.   God, our Light, our Morning Star, gives light always, and we should be sparkling blue and clear and beautiful in reflection of how amazingly awesome He is.  I’m feeling a little steel blue this morning…maybe I need to spend some time looking at the Bright and Morning Star.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Bridge to Beautiful

DSCN0964

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

Meet Finnegan

DSCN1887

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
