I'm having...Vanilla Carmel tea this morning.
My teacup... is my everyday cup.
I'm feeling... content being who I am. These moments are true blessing.
On my mind...excitement in anticipation of Marianne and Daniel's visit this weekend. Coming to visit us allows Dad to concentrate on completing some remodeling at home. I love remodeling as long as it's not my house that's torn up...Such a mess! I am grateful for the roses in the garden that can be brought inside to be cherished.
Days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play.

Joy for me today is remembering the visit to the butterfly garden and OH the exultation I felt at the beauty of God creation! The butterflies were various and abundant!!!
To share the joy I've posted a puzzle from my gallery at JigZone. I hope it offers you enjoyment and a bit of a distraction from today's concerns.

Thanks be to God!

I can really feel your contentment there. It's a great blessing to have that feeling. When there's contentment, no room for complaints but only thankfulness.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely red rose from your garden.
Enjoy your family visits this weekend.
I love roses ~ especially red ones. I have a white rose bush outside my window, but I never bring them in. I just enjoy them being outside and seeing them from the living room.

Butterflies always excite me -- they're so amazing and heart-lifting. Well done!

Hi, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I know what you mean about remodeling; we did it just once, in the kitchen. Yeah--not in my house any more! lol
It is hard to be content with who I am; those moments are rare. Treasure it!!
Blessings on your day today,
Christine
