Headed Home

Another pillar in hubby's church has passed.

This was our beauty-filled view

on our way home from her visitation.

May Reba rest in peace.

A good way to spend an evening.

Savoring January Day 8 :: Warmth

Steaming, creamy chai tea latte in a sweet mug 

gifted to me by someone who knew I would love it 

(being known that well is heartwarming all in itself!), 

comfy gray sweats, and soft navy slippers 

on a chilly Sunday evening.

August Break :: I am . . . .

. . . . enjoying a late Sunday evening from my porch swing.  

With the welcomed, more indirect sunlight, 

it feels a lot like early fall. 

Ahhhhh.

Eventide Swinging

The view from my swing.

After doing some yardwork this afternoon, 

we sat and swang for a bit.

I do love him so!

Today's Truth

It's been a long week.

This morning I felt tired and weary

and grief.

It's the first real day of practicing choosing

*where* I want to

Abide.

I'm so grateful for Liz Lamoreux's example

and gentle encouragement

to take selfies as a way of finding 

myself

in my day and in my life,

especially when I'm feeling a little lost

and lonely.

Remember to Abide with intention, dear heart.

As I was creating the photo above,

I looked up and saw this . . .

So love how another circle of angels 

gather at eventide.

Epiphany

For years I have been slipping off to this sweet little parish church every now and then for Saturday evening mass. Having discovered their beautiful nativity scene early on, visiting it is one of my very favorite Christmas traditions. It's quiet reverence always touches me. 

Happy Epiphany! 

(In his sermon tonight, the deacon said that epiphany means truth. I *really* liked that.)
