Happy Halloween!



We dressed up for Halloween at work today 
and I was dreading it at first. 
(Who knew what a vulnerable thing that could be to do?!)

Turns out I was tickled with what I came up with. 

Happy Halloween!

First Date Anniversary


Today is the 30th anniversary of our first date. 

Been together ever since.

Mother Mary


When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be. 

And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be. 
Let it be. Let it be. 

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

So Grateful for Advance Voting

Fall Altar

Whimsical table side companions for the next little while. 

❤️πŸŒ°πŸ•Έ

. . 

While we were at the beach last month, 
my sweet niece colored the picture of her and me, 
complete with Bert and Ernie, my crutches. 

Or, as they are sometimes referred to by her sweet younger sister, 
Bernie and Ernie. 
(Bert's new name tickles me to no end.)

Abide in Gratitude

Taking a quiet, intentional moment in my doctor's office this morning 
to Abide in gratitude. 

πŸ’•

Once again my annual physical was just routine. 
Being an almost 39-year bone cancer survivor, 
it hasn't always been that way. 

Blessed be.

Safe in the Storm

The outer bands of Hurricane Matthew have found us.  We're just fine and only expecting 
about a half inch of rain so nothing like what others are getting, including our beloved 
St. Augustine, FL.

Joining in the love and prayers being sent to all in the storm's path.

Be Here

While waiting at the dry cleaners today I paused, looking back and up. Grinning because 
my elderly gentleman friend and his next door neighbor like to see the pigeons so they 
feed them, hoping to encourage them to stick around.

And it is kinda fun when I drive out on mornings that I happen to catch them finishing up 
their breakfast and to be surrounded by a sea of beautiful wings of gray, black, white, and 
some shimmering teal mixed in.

Gentle Woman

Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright
Gentle mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom; teach us love
