Somewhere Over the Rainbow

DSCN0814

Somewhere, this beach, these chairs are waiting…

Waiting for work-weary bodies to sink down into them

Waiting for the island breezes to blow

Waiting for the surf to tickle their legs and wash away the weight

Waiting, peacefully with no worries

 

Have a blessed weekend.  Slainte, Lisa

 

Birds In a Bush

DSCN0708

These beautiful snowy egrets are plentiful on St. Kitts in the Caribbean.  Delaney, our taxi driver, said that these birds had been brought onto the island to get rid of tics.   I think that if they would be happy in my yard, they would be a welcome sight here in Virginia.  Tics, be gone!  🙂  Have a wonderful day.  Blessings, Lisa

What If It Tilted?

DSCN1027

I sometimes love to take strange pictures…ones that aren’t quite straight, not lined up correctly.  Why?  Just because I get tired of the same old thing and just want to see the world a little differently.  What if the world went sideways for a day?  You know, like in one of those funhouses, where the room is tilted and you can’t walk straight?  I guess I should be very thankful that the world doesn’t actually tilt so that I can feel it; that gravity and all those other forces I don’t quite understand keep me feeling upright and standing firm.  Because a disoriented and falling around Lisa can be a scary thing.  🙂  May your feel be solidly planted today, and may God keep you upright and planted on the Rock.  Slainte, Lisa

Nothing Small About It

“Live your life while you have it.  Life is a splendid gift – there is nothing small about it.”  – Florence Nightingale

“Remember, there are no small parts, only small actors.” –  Konstantin Stanislavski

God has breathed the breath of life into each one of us, and has given us an amazing life to live.  And none of us are small in His eyes.  Ever.  Slainte, Lisa

With All Your Heart

DSCN0752

“A bell’s not a bell ’til you ring it,

A song’s not a song ’til you sing it

Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay

Love isn’t love ’til you give it away.”

-Oscar Hammerstein II, Sound of Music, “Sixteen Going on Seventeen”

Ringing, singing, loving…whatever you’re doing today, go for it with all your heart!  Slainte, Lisa
