The Imperfect Can Sometimes Rock
When it comes to old castles, our family likes them less perfect, and more, well, imperfect. The perfect castles tend to come complete with tour guides and the admission cost that tends to come with them. (Although I’m mixed on that…those admission costs could help in keeping these wonderful old castles intact for another generation to enjoy.) But we love to explore these wonderful rocks on our own sometimes, and just imagine. 🙂 Don’t miss the beauty in the imperfect. Blessings, Lisa

Layers of Beauty
Beauty, the beauty that is all around us if we look, is usually in layers. The obvious, the subtle, and the hidden. I always get excited when my busy self slows down long enough to discover the subtle and occasionally, God’s hidden gems.
Reencaheragh Strand, Ireland
In this picture, the obvious beauties are the cliffs, rocks and sky. The subtle are the far hills, the green fields. The hidden are the tiny tide pools in between all the rocks that we explored, the way the sun makes diamonds on the water, the unexpected fishing boat that appeared later that day around the cliff. But everyone sees it differently, and even that is a treasure. 🙂 Praying for God to truly open my eyes today to the beauty of all kinds today. And praying that for you as well. Blessings, Lisa
The Clouds Roll In
Dingle Bay
Kerry County
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
Technical Difficulties, or the 1963 Post
I had a great post ready this morning…a video of 1963 Ireland, complete with a wonderfully understated step dancer, an adept fiddler, and a very well-dressed early 60’s crowd. But alas, technical difficulties beset the best of my intentions, and no such post appeared. So, rather like a silent movie, I will insert a still shot and let your imagination provide the rest. Or, for if your imagination is on temporary vacation, you can click on this link,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYvU7oBBgKA and see if you can bring the actual video to life on your computer. Slainte, Lisa
Just like now, faster is not always better. The precision and accuracy of the player and dancer takes great talent. Love it! No technical difficulties on their part.
