#100Happydays Day 5

Posted on by under Photography

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

Martha Washington

Day 5 here on the happiness trail where smiles are found in abundance. Today I am happy that I got to walk the Gardner track this weekend. It may have been between the raindrops but it was the exercise that mattered! And honestly the clouds were so beautiful, who could not be glad walking under them?

#100happydays Day 4

Posted on by under Photography

I think it’s important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy.

Paula Cole

I am so glad my friends Nicole and Liz gave me the encouragement to take this challenge. Finding something to be happy about everyday is something we should all do and each day I am finding myself encouraged in the small things I would otherwise fail to notice.

For instance, I thought this would be an off year for some of my fruit trees. I was going to especially miss the sour cherries. They make such good jam; But when I checked the tree this morning here’s what I found.

 Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power.
    He will rule with a powerful arm.
    See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
    He will carry the lambs in his arms,
holding them close to his heart.
    He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young. Isa. 40:10,11 NLT

The Waters Of Life

Cee’s Fun Foto challenge this week is “WATER”.

Check it out at

Here is my take on the subject

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” 
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“The next time you think you’re perfect, try walking on water.” 
― Ziad K. Abdelnour

I chuckled when I read that last quote. It wasn’t perfection that allowed Jesus to walk on the water; It was faith and obedience. Both of those things always make a way to get the impossible done.

 

Share Your World With Cee 2014 Week 21

Posted on by under For Family & Fun

I am so glad to be making the time to share a corner of my world this week! When you have finished here pop on over to Cee’s place and see how her other contributors have answered the questions.

Here are Cee’s great questions of the week:

If you could make a 15 second speech to the entire world, what would you say?

Don’t forget about Jesus. He has never forgotten about you. Oh and eat your broccoli,  unless of course you have hematomacrosis in which case avoid broccoli (I had to add that last sentence in order for my speech to be long enough).

🙂

If you could take a photograph, paint a picture or write a story of any place in the world, what and where would it be?

I think I would choose the New England countryside. Oh wait I am already doing that…

If you had to spend one weekend alone in a single store but could remove nothing, which store would you pick?

Why Barnes & Noble of course. You don’t have to remove the product to read it!

If you were given a boat or yacht today, what would you name it?  (You an always sell the yacht later)

Tomorrow’s Nest Egg (Since I am selling it much to my daughter’s chagrin)

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am so thankful for the folks who came out to the class on love last week and I am thankful to have the opportunity to teach the next class in the series tonight!
