Morning shadows
Early morning shadows last week in my living room “Self-care is never a selfish act – it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
Good morning. We have overcast skies and a strong wind blowing from the north, gusting to 31 mph. So, it’s a hold on to your hat kind of day. My Gortex jacket sure didn’t keep the cold wind out on my walk to the coffee shop. But, then that makes me walk faster, the coffee or tea really hit the spot and my barista’s smile seem warmer. Have a great day, my friends!

A journey impossible to accomplish alone
Leaves with frost near campus “But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.” David Whyte

Words
Dinning room table shadows “Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness……” Jim Rohn. But for me they are so elusive and seem to fall short of understanding and awareness.

The power of love…
Morning reflections at Prospect Ponds There are some who think
killing another human
will bring peace.But, I believe
the power of love,
surely is far greater
than anything else.Monte

Grateful
Sunset this past Friday evening before the storm moved in. “Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” ―
Snow fell overnight Friday and into Saturday evening. Probably have over 3 inches. It has made for a wintery look and feel. I saw this image on the way home from the store Friday evening before the storm arrived. Actually had to turn around and go back to get a shot. Unfortunately by the time I turned around I’d lost some of the colors from when I first saw it. This is a time of the year for me to reflect on how much I have to be grateful for.
