Beautiful

On Sunday morning the sky was the most incredible shade of blue. It was spectacular. There was still a trace of pink from the dawn. Even tho my to-do list was long in preparation for the upcoming brunch just hours away, I kept returning to the window for another look. The air was crisp and a bit of frost clung to all the trees. Our new snow (and there is a lot of it!) was sparkling like glitter. The previously green landscaping was filled with interesting snow sculptures.

All of this makes me feel very peaceful and grateful for the beauty that I enjoy every day. I am also grateful for family and friends who bless my life and are as beautiful to me as the sky and snowscapes I got to enjoy yesterday morning. Peace.

Old Singer Sewing Machine

This summer my husband's 92 year old aunt moved into an apartment. Of course, after years of three bedrooms and TONS of space for "stuff"...she had plenty of things that would not have a spot in her new apartment!

One item that needs a home is an older Singer sewing machine. It is an item that we would love to get to someone who has a passion or interest in this type of thing. I am thinking it is out of the 50's...but I am not sure, just a guess. If you are interested in this machine, or know someone who might be, could you please let them know. Thanks!

Peace

I was sitting at the table having coffee last Sunday with the sun streaming through the window, looked up and saw the peace symbol making a shadow over our fireplace. I was struck by the beauty and then realized, that's what it will take from all of us. We all need to be reflections of peace, passing it on in all we do and say.

During this busy and hectic time of year, I wish you peace and calm. I wish our world, the ability to get past war and intolerance. Peace to all.

Peace.
