Be Thankful

When November comes I am reminded that it is the season to count your blessings and

be thankful. 

 

Thankful for sunshine and blue skies...

Thankful for a good book or two to read...

Thankful for family & friends near and far...

Thankful for the dawn of a new day...and always thankful for each of you who stop to visit.

Please share something you are thankful for this week...would love to hear what makes your heart glad.

Hugs!

"And be thankful." Col. 3:15b  (NIV)

"Listen"

It has been six months since I chose "listen" as my perfect word.   

It is challenging at times to slow down and take time to focus on being quiet and allow the silence to speak.

Also I have to ask myself am I a good listener of others.  So often in the rush to share thoughts or happenings one misses the words of a friend or a loved one.  

Listening is a skill to be honed.  For myself and perhaps others it is not always easily achieved.

It takes hard work and a true desire to want to hear the heart of another soul. 

As I revisit my perfect word of 2022 am hopeful that in some small way I will have learned to "listen" just a bit better than when the year began.

For all of you who chose a "perfect word", how are you seeing it manifesting in your life?

Take care dear friends and have a lovely week.

P.S. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers regarding Shelby.  She is still with us and we are grateful.

Summertime

 Ah sweet summertime has arrived.  It gifts us with sunshine and shadows...heavenly skies and green fields...

 blackberries ripening on the vine...

early apples that make the best sauce...

wild daisies growing along the fence row...

time to read...

time to create.

Hope you will share what summertime is bringing you.

Have a blessed week sweet friends!

Hugs
