Amid the clamor of the world, quiet your heart, For only in stillness do the shadows part. Let the noise fade like whispers on the breeze, And you'll find the forest, beyond the trees.~bdmillerSeeking Inspiration Amidst the Chaos ..
Time is a relentless force ..Much like the ever-turning mileage dial on a car .. counting each mile with a steady, unwavering pace. No matter what we do, whether we're driving through the sunlit days of summer or cruising through the stillness of the night, that dial keeps moving. And so does time.
Reminders ..Every single day I have to remember to tell myself this .. "Remember to make time to be happy today". Life is full of mistakes, heartaches, rain clouds and uncertainty. I mentally have to remember to carve out a little time for myself, simply to enjoy life and to find happiness in what ever for it takes. And sometimes that comes in the form of remembering the past and how fun it really was.
Our Caribbean Adventure: A Much-Needed GetawayIt has been nine months since the passing of Molly. I mention this because for the last five years of her precious life, Molly needed a lot of close personal care. This prevented us from taking any vacations where we had to leave her home.
Another Week In The Books ..And another day closer to the Independence Day holiday week .. 4th of July is right around the corner now. We've been making preparations for guests who were coming stay with us for a few days. We still have to get to the grocery store and pick up a bunch of things we will make for a family barbecue on 4th of July. We are just hoping the weather is not as unbearable as it has been lately. It's been hot. Hot hot hot. And dry. Dry dry dry. They've gotten some rain north of us and south of us but we have been spared any sort of wet stuff. I've been doing a lot of hand watering outdoors, but refused to water my lawn because It's never kept all that green in this type of weather anyhow. It's a waste of water and a waste of money .. at least in my opinion.
First, What's Not New ..Well for starters this Full Moon .. Quite the contrary to a new moon. Friday night was the full moon and we had our neighbors over for drinks and to sit around our outdoor fireplace and catch up. I broke out our old telescope and grab the shot with my iPhone through the lens. Then come out too bad! Full moon definitely brightens up the environment. Also it was a perfect evening weather wise with a light breeze and bearable temperatures.
