Seeing how it’s Monday, and January, and cold (at least here), I think we all could use a little escapist therapy. 🙂 Study the three pictures below, and decide which one you would go to, right now, if you had a flying carpet. Cast your vote, and we’ll see which escape suits you guys best! Slainte, Lisa
Where am I? Is it the crystal blue seas of the Caribbean? These beautiful azure and turquoise seas are found in Dingle, Ireland on Coumeenoole Beach, the famous beach filmed in “Ryan’s Daughter.” Soft sand, crystal blue waters and protective cliffs towering around you…what more can you ask for in a beach? 🙂
For those of you who could use a little “wave therapy” to start out your weekend, here’s a video capturing the sounds of the ocean as well as the stunning scenery.
Isn’t it always amazing how truly beautiful the things that God has made are? Slainte, Lisa
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands….there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. “
-Psalm 19:1,3
A bit of peace and beauty for your Tuesday morning. These auroras are truly magnificent. Watch in wonder.  Slainte, Lisa
“There is much satisfaction in work well done; praise is sweet, but there can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands.” – Victor Robinson
I’m reflective this morning. (uh-oh) Writing all that stuff yesterday in the blogathon has done that to me, and now to you. Blogging has an amazing side effect that is wonderful…it helps all of us to see that we’re not so different as we think we are. We are all created humans that are loved by an amazing God, and we all think and move and breathe and dream and hope. So this post is just a thank you, to all of you whose blogs inspire me and challenge me and help me to see that we can try to understand each other, because we’re all in this ship together. And if we cling onto the Captain, we can try to love each other just a fraction of how much He loves us. And that would be a whole lot. Slainte, Lisa
“Is it time for reason, is it time for trust? Well there’s no them, only us….is it time for reason, has your heart had enough? Is it time to let go and rise above?” – (Rise Above, Spiderman Musical, Bono & Edge)
Beautiful morning….thin transparent clouds touching the ground, creating a hazy misty wonderland of hiddenness. The sun somewhere behind those low clouds trying to push through, hitting the dew on the grass and making it glitter like wet diamonds under my feet. As I walked my daughter to the bus stop, I told her we were walking through a cloud, and she kept waving her hand through the air, saying, “I don’t feel it.” “But look around,” I replied. “The fog, the low clouds, are all around us. We see it, but we don’t feel it.”
Thank you God, for the reminder that You are everywhere I see, even when I can’t feel it. Your clouds came down and kissed the earth this morning and kissed us too, and that’s awesome. 🙂
Here’s a wonderful peaceful rendition of the trad tune, “The Foggy Dew,” for you to chill out to this morning.
