Todays Thought

Dear Sweet Patti, It never fails... you always have the perfect thing that touches my heart. Remembering my mom's death one year ago last week, and thankful for her light that still shines! God Bless,Pam

Dear Pam

sending you

my thoughts and prayers..It is wonderful to see you posting here..I have missed you



Carrie you are so right

Here's to the light!



Some of the shells

that wash up on the beach

were once very beautiful.



We don't know what kind of journey

they had to take to get them

in their fragile condition.



The same is true for people. Be kind."

When you are a bear of very little brain, and you think of things, you sometimes find that a thing which seemed very thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it! ~Winnie-the-Pooh

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?". Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night".
-Charlie Brown, Peanuts, as written by Charles Schultz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A small trouble is like a pebble.

Hold it too close to your eye
and it fills the whole world
and puts everything out of focus.

Hold it at a proper distance
and it can be examined
and properly classified.

Throw it at your feet
and it can be seen in its true setting,
just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life.
-Celia Luce

Always have faith in yourself~~

It is not easy to live life sometimes
and face the world with a smile when you're crying inside.

It takes a lot of courage
to reach down inside yourself.

Hold on to that strength
That's still there and know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities.

If you can just hold on long enough
to see this through, you'll come out
a new person - stronger, with more understanding and with a new pride in yourself from knowing you made it." ~ Kathy Obara

XOXO

In This Home
We believe in living deeply,
laughing often and loving always.

We believe we were brought together
to support and care for each other.

We believe in celebrating together-our faith, our heritage, our traditions.

We believe that everyone's feelings count, and that the uniqueness of each of us strengthens all of us.

We believe in the power of forgiveness to heal and the power of love to carry us through.

We believe in one another, in this family,
In This Home.

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

I've just spent over an hour reading through these and feel so energized and motiviated. Here's one I found the other day while reading a book about French Design and it seemed so appropriate for me as I'm heading into year 2 of this journey..and all the things I've learned along the way.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

Marcel Proust

'It gives me
a deep comforting sense
that ‘things seen
are temporal
and things unseen
are eternal.’ - Helen Keller
