Beautiful Day

Count your blessings.

Today and everyday, give more than you are getting paid for.

Don't linger on mistakes too long.

Always end your day surrounded by those you love.

Build this day on the foundation of pleasant thoughts.

Live today as if it was your last.

Laugh at yourself.

Never neglect the little things.

Welcome every morning with a smile.

Find something good in everyone.*

Here's to today. May yours be beautiful.

Winter Came Early This Year

I love this picture. It reminds me of one of my most favourite days. The air lay heavy with cold. The day was dark and still; announcing late in November that winter had come.

After hours outside, full of family and friends, the house was warm with laughter.

Hot chocolate, a crackling fire, snuggles on the couch....pure joy.

As you can see its been a long time since I've written. I'd love to say that its because I've been busy off on the adventure of a lifetime, travelling the world and seeing the fruition of my dreams. But its not. I almost wrote "sadly, its not" but stopped myself. No, the last months have not been easy but as I feel myself coming out of the pit, I am beginning to see the goodness that can be gleaned from it.

Most lessons are learned the hard way.

I hope to be able to write about them soon.

Thank you Jesus for not letting go of me. Thank you for walking beside me. Thank you for loving me enough to want to teach me more.

Bless those who stop by here today.
