Friendship

Its always good to reconnect with a friend. Started my day catching up with a good friend.

How does 4 hours fly by so quickly?

By having true conversation...you know, the kind where one talks and the other listens? Taking turns. Isn't that something we learned in kindergarten? Wonder when some lost that social grace!

By being interested enough in the emotions and feelings of another to respond appropriately deep instead of predictably shallow.

I will always be grateful for friends that know how to be friends. No matter how long the friendship, the give and take of conversation is a special hallmark of a special friendship.

Hello friend!

    This brings back memories of very late nights, as we learned from you guys about marriage. Thanks for giving us this precious gift!

    Oh how I remember our friendship and miss those days of serving together. Here's my simple moment- I'm sitting here with color on my hair remembering how you taught me to do it myself before you moved to Texas, miss you!!

    Me too! Remembering fondly all the years we served together. Those times set a real foundation in my heart to serve with women and bring out the best in others. We did have some good times! Hopefully we made a difference in lives along the way!
    Good job with your hair! Enjoy the moment and the results!

Pathways

  PATHWAYS AND PONDERINGS I recently came across a quote by Henry David Thoreau on his thoughts on pathways. " As a single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind." As I pondered this thought, my mind was drawn to why do I like pathways?  They are familiar ways to go, they show that someone has gone before me, they are sure and certain to get you somewhere, the obstacles have been pushed aside and cleared a smooth pathway. I like mom and pop stores, where you know you will see familiar faces. I like stores that are not always changing where things are located. I like to have my name used with a note of recognition when I arrive for an appointment. I like to hear "its so good to see you again". I like the adventure of new things discovered, but I like returning to the familiar.  I like the sense of reading a new book, by a familiar author. I like trying a new dish, at a favorite restaurant.  I like welcoming new

PATHWAYS AND PONDERINGS We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." ~ Walt Disney These photos are all taken at the site of our yearly beach vacation. Even though I know where each path goes and what awaits me, I am always curious to see what it ahead that particular day or evening.  It may be a sunset after a rainstorm, a beach full of people or a quiet and serene morning in the absence of other humans, it may be a beach full of shells, birds or seaweed. The shoreline may have altered after the evening tides, there may be a sea turtle nest roped off to keep the baby turtles safe or it may be a beach wedding that we can be informal witnesses to.                                                                                                                              In Alice in Wonderland, Alice is often heard exclaiming "Curiouser and Curiouser" (made up word) as she encounters

My Craft Room

I have been enjoying gathering up all my paper crafting supplies and getting them into an environment that says "CREATE". I have been spread out all over the house and garage these past four years and have found it to be disjointed and cumbersome to be creative when I don't have my supplies handy. I have taken my time to evaluate my supplies and see what I do use and what I can live without. It has been an adventure to uncover some long forgotten once favorite tools. It has also been an adventure to find some long forgotten tools that never did the job. Good bye to them! I have also taken the time to read some good magazines and books on organizing craft spaces and have found it helpful to see what others do. I think I have made this space reflect me and am looking forward to spending some good time  there creating. It is also a nice space to share with Jackie, my daughter and paper crafting partner. Let the creating begin!!
