Haiku My Heart



Love perfect and pure
As fragile as a white rose
Value is untold

But courage and strength
As strong as the white rose stem
Upholds the value

~~~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

The Joy in Tea Talk




Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the
 comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.
~~Author Unknown~~

I'm having...a cup of decaf coffee with a little sweetener and cream


My teacup...a plain mug.

I'm feeling...rested.


On my mind...are the plans for this weekend.  The John Angotti's concert is Friday night and then we are off to INDY early Saturday morning for Lindsey's 1st Holy Communion.

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.
~~~~~~~

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as


beautiful as the Colorado Columbine.
I must be open to it!

Thanks be to God!!!

Sunlit Sunday and Mosaic Monday



I'd rather have roses on my table, 
than diamond around may neck.
Emma Goldman

Indeed, I would rather, too!  And when the sun shines on the blossoms the glory of God shines even brighter!

I'm having...My very favorite Good Earth Tea


My teacup...is a delicate teacup.  It is so very dainty! 



I'm feeling... renewed.  I had a good rest last night and am ready to meet today!

On my mind...is the weekend.  It always seems to be so very busy anymore.  Thanks be to God for Wednesdays.  My day to catch up.  Saturday we go to Terre Haute to meet with Sr. Dorothy for Spiritual Direction and that evening is the Christ Renews His Parish potluck.  Sunday is the Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast at Holy Rosary, The Gathering of Providence Associates at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, and CRHP team formation Sunday evening.  Whew!!!  Pray for me!!!!


Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. - Henri Nouwen
