Spirit :: Journaling

 

Hello! I am off from work today.

Our district closed the schools

because of the sub-zero temperatures

and crazy blowing winds.

I braved the cold for just a brief moment

and realized why!

This collage made me feel warmth

and sun.

I like the light.

It is inspired, also, by the

wonderful, wonderful

book

I am reading...(two pages per day):

A Year of Miracles,

Daily Devotions & Reflections

by

Marianne Williamson.

I hope you check it out.

It speaks to me

but also puts into words

more beautifully,

the thoughts I am thinking lately.

Love to you,

Journaling...

When I woke up this morning

it was still well below freezing

but the sky was brilliant blue

without a single cloud

and the sun shone so

brightly

on the knee-high snow

that 

I almost 

liked

winter

again...!

Yes, I keep summer in my heart.

I love to feel the sunshine

on my skin...

Peace and love to you,

~k

Silence :: Journaling

Sometimes all I need is Silence.

It frees up my mind

allowing me to open to the light.

When I am still,

I can turn off the world's chaos

and feel the sense of order

that is really in the universe, and the love.

{I've been into geometric shapes lately.}

>>>...>>>

And this is how I wanted to celebrate

my birthday last week:

Andi has already grown!

She is 2 weeks old

and is filling out her newborn sized sleepers!

Oh, I love her so much

that

my

heart

swells 

and tears well up in my eyes.

amazing...

my granddaughter.

Learning

I am at a point in my life 

when I am discovering

and learning

so much

...about a lot of things

and about Life

and about myself

I guess I wasn't ready to learn it earlier

but at least I am open now

and am forgiving myself.

I am meant to be

me

and I am enough.

I just want to learn more.

It is all so miraculous, this life.

...

Thank you for visiting

and for sharing in my granddaughter love & joy.

Hello Love :: Journaling

 My new granddaughter is only 3 days old

and I love her

in a bigger way than I can express.

So I guess I am speechless.

...and I can NOT stop smiling.

Sweet Arrival!

Blizzard Bliss...

We are in Western NYS where

 we have official Blizzard conditions

and a State of Emergency

with a driving ban. 

So...hoping Baby to Be

waits til the storm is over now!!

Nesting, cuddling up under warm blankets and quilts

creating

reading

drinking hot coffee

and soon some hot chocolate with gingerbread...

enjoying the blizzard lock-in

as long as the power doesn't go out!

Peace and warmth to you,

~k

1.4.14

 

A ways back, it was today's date that I predicted

would be the birth date of my first grand baby.

It's an awesome date, don't you think?!

Well, we are waiting yet...

eagerly, anxiously,

excitedly,

gratefully.

I do not know what

this precious baby will look like

but she will be as beautiful

and as loved

as the sky and the moon and the stars.

My heart swells.

Overflowing,

Just Do It.

Some decisions in life are difficult

so I am remembering

to take my own

advice:

Don't stumble on rocks that are behind you.

Ask for true guidance.

Take the leap of faith.

Trust.

Then, don't look back.

 ...

The temperature is 6 degrees F

and dropping.

No, I don't want to go outside!

I am going to snuggle under a blanket,

watch the hockey game on TV,

and read.

(No new baby yet!)
