Quietude

" Live your life with purpose.

Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.

Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Be yourself, and don't wait for the approval of others.

But most importantly, have a positive and humble mindset

no matter what situation you are in.

Count your blessings, not your problems,

and you will realize how beautiful

your life truly is. "

I knew today was going to be cold and wet.

I decided that if I needed to spend most

of the day huddled inside...

watching it snow and

 the birds gather on the feeder

from the window...

so be it. :)

good things...

twinkle lights on my plant

lighting the candles

tulips on the table

writing with my favorite pen

prayers

huddling in a sweatshirt

a slower pace

a warm bowl of homemade vegetable soup

the sound of the birds chirping away

a dusting of snow

good news

XOXO
