All shall be well

 


I am just past 57 and a half years old and heading into 60 at a fairly steady clip.

Remember when “a half” was something you really counted? 

I am thankful for my health. I am thankful that I am a person of faith.

I am thankful for my belief that I am just a  sojourner here.

When I see people so upset over what is happening in our country and in the world

I wonder if they are people of faith. 

Though there are certainly very good reasons to be upset I will not give up my heart to that mentality. 

~

Create in me a clean heart, O God, 

And renew a right spirit within me.

Is my prayer at the beginning of every day and

“Thank you for the gift of this day and these people.

If I have offended please show me how to make amends.”

Is my prayer at end of day. 

~ ~ ~

Thankful Thursday

    You sure look a LOT younger than you really are! I would never have guessed! I don't know how people can live without faith and hope, it must be such a bleak life.

      I think it must be a rather bleak life as well, Ginny.

    There's always something—usually many somethings—to be thankful for. Sometimes when we get weighed down we have to look a bit harder to find them but they're there. Thanks for the reminder.

    You do look very young and happy! It's a good time to be thankful for what we have rather than wishing it was different! Enjoy your day!

    You look wonderful and no doubt your faith, and attitude, contribute to that. Thank you for linking up and have a great week.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
