Today the sun is shining
but two days ago, snow was falling.

Such a lovely photo – and it does capture serenity.
We are supposed to have another major snowstorm (so unlike NYC) starting tonight. Not looking forward to it.
Keep warm.

I hope you found your serenity, Anabel. Remember, it’s a work in progress. A minute at a time (or sometimes, just seconds…)

It was hard to find it. But at night I wrote a long post of what I felt and I found a little serenity.

Oh Tracy, this is such a beautiful photo–and sentiment. Just what I needed in this moment.
My husband took a red-eye flight to CT because his mother is gravely ill. Naturally, he is glad to be there for his parents, but I’m so wishing I had been able to go with him last night, as travel is almost impossible now, due to an incoming blizzard.
My FIL is having extreme difficulty handling the reality of what may be, so if you could send up some good y heart aches for them, as they’re practically inseparable. (They’ll be celebrating their 72nd anniversary this coming Friday!)
We’re all hoping for a good outcome, of course, but at this point, freedom from pain and suffering may be the best that we can hope for. So yes…peace amid the storm. That’s my prayer, too.

All good thoughts headed to your in-laws, Melodye. I’m teary thinking of them with 72 (!) years together. I wish much peace and serenity for them. (And your husband, too.)
Here’s a hug….

I’m glad you like the photo. I took so many that day because it was such a lovely setting, and was thrilled when some turned out well.

Oh my.
Tracy, this post is gorgeous. I really want to print it out and frame it, but I know that it won’t look nearly so pretty if I do. It’s a perfect little motivational poster, though.
