A-way...

 Away....

No mood or heart for blogging these days.

(as you can tell from lack of postings.)

Say a prayer if your heart feels a tug

Just not myself at present-- things are well, but not well,

(if that makes sense).
I'm not sad or depressed but something is not flowing here.

So I'm doing my thing of gathering my resources

and turning inward where He dwells

to be quiet with Him until my heart feels alive

and well and aware of what my life is about this time

in my life.

I still much enjoy catching glimpses of heaven in unexpected places

every single day ~ many times a day ~ 

but I don't feel like writing about them at present.

Hugs and love to you all...

with a gentle kiss atop thy head.

Heart Day Surprise

Hubby came home with a sweet surprise....

The tiniest pleasures of sweet variety...

Delectable sweets handmade by an up and coming local Chocolatier...

Lovely to look at... still better to eat!

The savouring has been most delicious!

Wishing you a very Happy Heart's Day!

With a gentle kiss atop thy head...

A Spring Bunch

As soon as I saw them, I knew these were coming home with me. What a dash of colour amidst all the winter white. Can you imagine the delight of my heart as I popped them into a vase and set them in front of me? 

And, then can you imagine the completely unplanned moment when having stopped at the library to pick up a book I had on hold, to find that it was Deborah Moggach's Tulip Fever?  Of all the books I have in my 'reserve it' file, they had that one waiting for me.  Too splendid for words!

Now that's what I call a little glimpse of heaven tucked in an unexpected place!

Here's wishing you your own sprightly bunches of heaven!

The Beauty of Grey

I would never have thought that I'd include grey in a list of favourite colours. I mean, grey? Of all colours, it's so, well, grey.

But then, not that long ago, I began to see the colour in a whole new light. And yes, I like days with overcast, grey skies... and I feel cozy when grey fog wraps itself over some early mornings. There is something calming...almost protective...about them.

I'm beginning to see that our world would be a lot 'greyer' if we didn't have this particular colour in the palette to add depth, richness, and yes, beauty, to the mosaic of our life's events. You see, you need some dark, some shadow, to show off light.

Grey may be one of those colours that on its own isn't so exciting, but perhaps it's like the added pinch of a secret ingredient that turns an okay dish into something marvelous... in a paint box kind of way.

Do you notice how, in the photo below, the overall grayish tones of the whole tapestry offsets the brighter colours? They pop out right out... and suddenly the whole painting comes alive.  Don't you just love the contrast?

Guess that turns out to be a very unexpected glimpse of heaven!

Beautiful in its own way ~

I give you the colour GREY.

(And if you live in America, then will be spelled GRAY)

Hugs and blisses,
