This castle hallway in Ireland has been well-used and well-loved over the years. Now, the castle lies in ruins, yet the memories of what was remain for any visitor who is blessed with an imagination. Our old house here in the States has some well-worn stairs as well, but I dare say with a bit more foot space left on them. One of my favorite things to think of is the many feet attached to the many different characters who have run, plodded, skipped and sat upon our stairs over the years. Stories…memories….life. Blessings, Lisa
My Essential Ingredients for a great beach day:

Only thing missing…my sweetie (at work) and the feel of the ocean. But hey, that’s where a good imagination comes in! 🙂 I love these God-given 72 degree days snuck into the middle of winter! Slainte, Lisa
My made-up word of the day is “chuckleness.” As could be used in the sentence, “That scene had an awesome chuckleness factor to it.” (I in fact used that sentence last night after dinner, thereby prompting this post of questionable import.) My equally made-up definition is as follows:
Chuckleness- (adjective) used to describe the funniness or humor of an object, occurrence, or quality. Best when used with the noun “factor.”
I will now list several funny scenes from popular TV shows for you to vote on the one with the best “chuckleness factor.” You will probably not know all of them, so just vote for the one you remember and laugh at the best. And may your day have a chuckleness factor of 10! Slainte, Lisa

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”

For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.”

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. ” – Psalm 139: 17-18
Rejoice in the wonder and joy of it all. Blessings, Lisa
