Fishing for Diamonds

100_0326

When I was a little girl and when the sun hit the water just right, I thought there were diamonds out there in the surf.  And if I just could get there quick enough and catch one, it would stay glittery and beautiful in my hand.  But alas, those diamonds seemed to be of the stuff of leprechaun gold and fairy dust, and I was never quite fast enough to fish one out.  I sure had fun trying, though.  🙂  If you’re by the sea today, catch a diamond for me, and if you’re not, imagine yourself picking up one triumphantly in your hand for all to see.  It will make you smile and that’s a good thing.  Slainte, Lisa

The Mist and the Mystery

One of my favorite days spent in Ireland was this day.  County Kerry, forgotten pathway leading into the woods, abandoned stone house with a large and friendly tree growing inside.  We felt that we were the only people who had ever discovered this place, that it was our secret house in our hidden forest.  The mist only added to the mystery and magic of the day.  Memories linger like mist that surrounded us.  Have fun discovering the  beautiful mysteries that are all around you today.  Slainte, Lisapic36

You’re With Me

“You’re With Me”

c 2012 Lisa Lyons

I don’t know what this road is; I don’t know where it leads…

I only know I’m safe when You’re with me.

I get so turned around; so many detours call me…

But I only know the way ’cause You’re with me.

And when I feel  far from You, I know You’re still there beside me

Holding my hand, leading me on and on…

My feelings change; my moods rearrange like the trees out in the wind

But I don’t fly alone ’cause You’re with me

I need to see that You’re living in me…You’re my only Constant

Remove this discontent…Breathe in me…

And when I feel far from You, I know You’re still there beside me

Holding my hand, leading me on and on…

He never leaves you or forsakes you.  He promised.  Blessings on your weekend, Lisa

The Bird Making Bad Choices, or the Bird Needing Glasses

I saw this picture on www.irishcentral.com yesterday, and it cracked me up.  This bird obviously did not see the sign properly, or he just decided to disregard the rule and see what happened if he sat there.  I’m guessing that nothing happened, and now all the birds will be doing it today.  Where will it all end?  Birds will be sitting on signs everywhere.  Have a good day, and watch out for those crazy birds.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

A Church with Sand on the Floor

I don’t know about you, but this is about perfect.  A beautiful white wooden church with sand on the floor, blue ocean right outside its windows, sea breezes blowing through…the best of God’s air conditioning.  Let’s go…OK?  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
