It was a big weekend around here. A local St. Patrick’s Day parade, dinner and music at McMahon’s, making lots of soda bread and scones (and the eating of them afterwards!). Hope you all have a blessed St. Patrick’s Day today, and enjoy your friends and family! 🙂 Lisa

Sometimes I want to take on the world, walking vigorously, exploring all there is to see. But other days I just want to sit by the riverbank and watch it flow. Listen to the waters flowing over the rocks, watch the birds overhead in flight, rest my body in the soft green grass. Both ways have merit and worth, just differently. Action and thought. Both integral parts of this thing that God has given us….life. “He leads me beside the still waters; He restores my soul.” ~Psalm 23:2b-3a
Blessings for your day, Lisa
Here are two pathway pictures taken in the Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo, NC. Do you prefer the winding path where you can’t see the end, or the straight path, where the end is clearly visible? I have to say that I prefer the winding one, although in life, I always feel that I want to know what’s going to happen. But maybe I really don’t…life is so much the better for the surprises, the “wow, I didn’t expect that”, the bends and turns and beauty discovered after time. And so this is what my brain is thinking about on a Monday morning….I think another cup of coffee is in order. 😉 Slainte, Lisa
“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” ~Psalm 25:4
Unless you start doing something different,
you are in for more of the same.

And in the end,
it’s not the years in your life that count,
it’s the life in your years.
~ Abraham Lincoln ~
Cut not the wings of your dreams,
for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.
~ Flavia ~
Life can only be understood backwards,
but can only be lived forwards.

Blessings for your Thursday; live forward, different, fully, flying. Lisa
Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the light. To the sunshine, to smiling people, to laughter, to music, to water dancing diamonds in the day. My soul cries out for those things and needs them like food. God calling out to me….that’s how He does it. With light and beauty and music; all saying “I’m here…I’m here.” Today I’m going to try to be one of those sparkly, smiley people; with His help, I’m going to look for my place to shine. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
