“The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Bridge to Beautiful
When I’m in the midst of winter, sometimes it feels that it will last forever. But every year, I’m wrong! Spring and summer come back, the world warms again, sweaters are gratefully put away, and the warmth floods through my body as a tonic. So on this cold day when we’re calling for 5-8 inches of snow, I need to remember that. It’s coming. There’s a bridge leading to beautiful, it will call my name, and I will walk upon it. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
Summer Over? No Way!
Today is supposedly the traditional “end of summer.” A bummer statement if ever I heard one. Well, here at my home, it is still blazing summer hot with bright sunshine, and we’re all still in our happy summer clothes. And we’re probably going to stay in our summer clothes until the first frosts are upon us, loving every sunny and warm moment we can. So…in honor of the wonders of summer, here are a few of my favorite photos. Enjoy your day. Slainte, Lisa
P.S. I just realized that I said the word “summer” 5 times in this post…whoops, now I’ve used it six times! But as I cannot think of a better synonym, there it stands. 🙂

Invincible Summer
In the depth of winter,
I finally learned that within me there lay
An invincible summer. – Albert Camus
I love this quote. Strength, hope, future. And that strength, hope and future lies in God. He will not let me go, and He won’t let you go either. Rest in that today. Slainte, Lisa
