Grace Notes

To those who read music or study a musical instrument you most likely have encountered grace notes.  They are embellishments added to the composition introduced by the composer or performer. 

I like to think of them as the extra trill in a song...not necessary but something special added to a piece.

In other creative pursuits they may be the icing and streusel on an ordinary muffin.


or a soft patch of bright in an otherwise gray sketch.

Sometimes they appear on an early morning walk

Super Moon














Pink Sunrise




















or a cute face at the bird feeder!

Wherever and however - they are the extra joys added to our lives...unmerited, undeserved but sent to us from the "Creator".

Praying all of you will find some "grace notes" along the way this week.

Hugs

Debbie

  1. Thank you for the reminders. Sometimes we get so caught up in the daily grind that we forget to be grateful for the little things that mean so much.

  9. Such an encouraging sweet post. My grace note of this morning (other than reading this post) is going out to do a not so pleasant chore (poop patrol) and finding that a Carolina Wren is building a nest in the hen house. Looking forward to more of those Grace Notes this week... Cheers and have a great week.

  11. What a special post this is, Debbie. You know, I took piano lessons when I was a young girl, and I had a hard time reading notes, so I just played by ear. I never stuck with it, but still know how to play a couple songs to this day. What a wonderful way to see the grace notes in nature. That moon photo is beautiful, and I love the patch of light on the grey sketch. I wish I had one of those iced muffins to go with my coffee right now - they look so Yummy. I always appreciate your very special posts, Debbie.

  19. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

Windy & Stormy

 Finally after windy and stormy weather we are enjoying a lovely Sunday of blue skies.  April has certainly delivered several inches of rain...
