Whether it be around the block, up a hill, or to your mailbox, enjoy every step that you can walk today. Breathe deeply, look up, and thank God. Slainte, Lisa
Sometimes the way is foggy and it is difficult to see where your feet are headed. Stones cause ankles to turn and progress is limited as you slip slightly backwards on the scree. But finally, you are there. At the top. The view is misty and slightly hazy, but you see it…the lake, the green in the distance, the view of the amazing mountains. You are thankful, you are satisfied, and no amount of mist will stop that from happening.
No matter what mountain you are climbing today and tomorrow, walk on. You may slip some, but you will make it. And the One who made you will bless you and keep you all along the journey. Who knows what wonders you will discover at the top? Be blessed; I am truly thankful for each of you. Lisa
“I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip – He who watches over you will not slumber.” ~ Psalm 121:1-3
May your feet be steady and sure, taking every step knowing that God’s got you. Slainte, Lisa
Someone recently commented to me that most of my Ireland pictures were taken on cloudy/rainy/soft days. And I responded that for some reason I liked the pictures of Ireland taken on those soft days better than the sunny ones. Although, when we are in Ireland, I appreciate the warm sunny days so much. But there’s something about old castles, craggy mountainsides, and sheep in the foggy mist that hit me as just about perfect. 🙂 What do you think? Comment below. Here are two sets of similar pictures taken on two different days, with very different weather. Enjoy your sunny or soft day today. Slainte, Lisa

Hill, mountain…whichever it is, it is beautiful, rocky, steep, and gives a feeling of forever, permanence. Like the ocean, it points to God and gives me great peace.
It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As we start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness
Squeeze out sparks of light (U2)
May God bless your Monday with smooth hills, peace, and sparks of light. Slainte, Lisa
