Mr. Ice has left his calling card upon our bushes, our trees, and any other surface he chanced upon last evening.
In doing so, he left us the colours of Christmas. 🙂 Have a blessed day! Lisa

An Alley
What is it about an alley that is so atmospheric? From an objective perspective, they are cramped and darker. But when you step inside an alley, (at least in the daytime 🙂 ) you feel as if you’ve stepped into a secret place that you have discovered. Hidden away from the world for a time, you are ensconced in mystery and quaintness. Here are two shots from a Kilkenny alley which has more charm than should be allowed by law. Please ignore the date on the second picture, it is a mystery how that got on there…not the right date by a few years, and I never put the date feature on. Also disregard the unsuspecting walkers who had the nerve to disturb our picture taking. 😉 Oh well….more quirky details that adds to the memories and the story of the alley.  Have a blessed day. Slainte, Lisa

Mountain in Song
“Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion.” ~Isaiah 49:13
What is singing in your corner of the world this morning? Maybe the tree that is using red, orange, and yellow as his notes of song. Maybe the green grass under your feet is shouting, “Glorious day!” Maybe the sky and the clouds are playing with blues and whites and grays, creating a beautiful artwork of this very moment. Go ahead and add to their beauty with a song or big shout of your own!  Slainte, Lisa
Stillness
It’s good to find quiet, to find a place where there is no noise. When I discover those places, my soul sighs almost audibly. “Aaahhh….” As a musician and a mother of 3, there are sounds, notes, laughter, conversations, “discussions” between siblings (!), washing machines, phone calls, doors opening and closing.
But sometimes, it’s quiet. And I treasure those moments. As much as I love the noisy love and excitement and hubbub. When we were in the Rock of Cashel here in this photo, we could feel the quiet and the stillness. Talking seemed inappropriate. “Be still, and know that I am God” rang through my mind.  Standing, breathing, knowing, sensing that Love that keeps extending itself through all our life.  On your busy Monday, I pray that you can find one little moment of your day like that. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
