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

I'm feeling... I'm feeling excitement in the anticipation of what has become for me an annual get-away. Tomorrow I begin retreat at Saint Meinrad Archabbey with fellow friends and "companions on the journey!!!"
On my mind... preparation for tonight's Bible Study. I still need to pack too.
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.
as a winter sunrise. I must be open to it!

Thanks be to God!!!
