Tea Talk with Joy

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the

 comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.

I'm having...Good Earth Decaffeinated tea

My teacup...is a Hallmark Norman Rockwell mug!   Will use my Christmas mugs until I must put them away.

I'm feeling... excited!!  Will be traveling to St. Louis tomorrow to celebrate a New Years Eve birthday!!!  It's always fun!

On my mind...will be baking the birthday cake,  packing and then will be on the road after work tomorrow!!!! 

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.

Mankind is great, an immense family.
This is proved by what we feel in our hearts
at Christmas. ~~Pope John XXIII

This day has the potential of being just as grand as the

music of the angels,   I must be open to it!

Thanks be to God!!!

Relax and Play Wednesday

Wednesday before Christmas.  Time to take a break and relax.  Take a few moments to be distracted from the pressures.  Get a hot cup of coffee/tea and for just a few minutes play here.  It'll do you a world of good.  And what you have left to come here is no doubt still be waiting for  your return.

It's time to relax

Oh my deer, you're beautiful

Such lovely brown eyes!

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Thanks be to God!

Mosaic Monday

When we give each other our Christmas presents in his name, let us remember that he has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans and all that lives and moves upon them...And to save us from our own foolishness and from all our sins, he came down to earth and gave himself.  Venite adoremus Dominum.  ~~Sigrid Undset~~  

Wishing everyone a very Blessed Christmas.  I will have a busy week with family coming and going.  I'm not sure how much time I will be able to visit here!!!  Will make every effort to visit you at "HOME."  

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!
