#4, 5 & 6

I love a hot cup of tea. Right now my favorite is Ginger-Snappish.

I love going to a little place called the Shamrock Cafe, where I had this cup of tea.

I love my friend Barb, who took me there in the first place.

#3 of 1000 Things I Love

The view from my front window today.

I love snow days when I can truly relax.
 I loved them when my children were little. We would dig out the monopoly game, eat chocolate chip cookies and watch TV with no guilt :)

My to do list haunts me even on snow days, now that my children are no longer at home. But not today. Today is a no guilt day. I have been doing a little writing, reading and laundry :) not in that order.Every now and then I look out the window at the snow falling and smile.

#2 of 1000 Things I Love

Look closely and you will see my delightful blessing today.

I was coming out of the grocery store with much on my mind this morning. Suddenly a beautiful sound pierced through the heaviness of my thoughts. A bird was singing as loud as can be. I put my groceries in the back of my vehicle and all the while,the warbling continued.
This was no ordinary chirping, but a lovely melody of happiness.

I looked up. There were no trees around, only a solitary light post. There sat the feathered songstress singing at the top of her little lungs.

I grabbed my camera out of the car, which I keep with me at all times now. I didn't care what anyone thought of this crazy lady in the parking lot taking pictures of a bird.

God sent one of his creatures along to remind me to sing :) and to know He is thinking of me today.

1000 Things I love

 February is a month that we focus in on love.

I am reading the book "One Thousand Gifts." This is where I got the idea for February's blogging.
Each day I will share something I love. It may be as simple as a sentence.

I won't reach a thousand things in one month, but they say a habit is created or broken in 30 days. I'd love to create the habit of being thankful for everyday little things that often go unnoticed.

I know- February has already begun but I'm beginning today, because better late than not at all.

I love God's Word. I borrowed this pic from one of the blogs I follow.

Biathlon's Snow

Much of the country has been getting pounded with snow, but it's missed us nearly every time. They have had to make tons of snow for the International Biathlon taking place here this week.  Guess what? It's snowing!
Picture taken from a friend's mobile phone today.

Tuesday Treasures

My daughter's art room is like walking into a treasure chest for me. I love everything she is working on, her pictures, her desk, all of it.

This weekend was especially precious to me. I discovered she is creating a scrapbook for her daughter's high school years. It is delightful and marked with her touch of charm and her own unique artistic flair! Pic doesn't do it justice.
