The Well-Worn Stairs

This castle hallway in Ireland has been well-used and well-loved over the years.  Now, the castle lies in ruins, yet the memories of what was remain for any visitor who is blessed with an imagination.  Our old house here in the States has some well-worn stairs as well, but I dare say with a bit more foot space left on them.  One of my favorite things to think of is the many feet attached to the many different characters who have run, plodded, skipped and sat upon our stairs over the years.  Stories…memories….life.  Blessings, Lisa

It’s All Good

What’s right in front of me is clear…

What’s over the water is less so but still beautiful…

What’s unknown over the mountain is exciting and keeps me traveling…

It’s all good, and it’s all God’s.  Enjoy the journey today.  Slainte, Lisa

My Essential Ingredients for a great beach day:

1.  Warm Sun and Blue Skies – Check

2.  Comfy beach chair and a good book – Check

3.  The  wonderful smell of Coppertone sunblock wafting in the air – Check

4.  A cool drink – Check

5.  Awesome beach tunes, provided via Chesney – Check

6.  The feel of escape (finished piano lessons, and escaped to the outside) – Check

Only thing missing…my sweetie (at work) and the feel of the ocean.  But hey, that’s where a good imagination comes in!  🙂 I love these God-given 72 degree days snuck into the middle of winter!   Slainte, Lisa

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”

“My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. ”         – Psalm 139: 17-18

Rejoice in the wonder and joy of it all.  Blessings, Lisa
