Friday Mystery For You To Solve

OK, all you wanna-be Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys!  Here’s a mystery for you…where was this photograph taken?  All valid guesses will be listened to…you may not be right, but you will be listened to.  Have a wonderful weekend filled with little wonders and mysteries.  Slainte, Lisa

If My Family Were Rock Stars…

…this would totally be an awesome album cover!  😉  How cool are they?

Loving the sunshine this morning, even though it is single digits outside.  We’re headed for a balmy 50 degrees F on Saturday, and I’m positively giddy at the thought.

May you all be stars today,  may ice not form on your feet, and may the thoughts of Spring warm your heart.  Slainte, Lisa

Just Bloom

July Tree on St. Kitts

July Tree on St. Kitts

This tree is blooming, and blooming beautifully.  Although it is just a tree, it is not worrying about tomorrow, or yesterday, just blooming now.  The tree of course benefits by not having a brain, and we are indeed blessed to be able to think and decide, to feel and to imagine.  All of these are great gifts from God, as we are made in His image.  But He doesn’t want us to worry…easier said than done, right?  As a mom, I tend to think ahead and try to micromanage, plan, prevent.  But is this worrying helping anything?  Absolutely not.  That’s why I love this quote by Corrie Ten Boom:

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.”

So for this moment, I am going to try to just be, to just bloom.  Have a beautiful day!  Slainte, Lisa
