Moments

Sometimes moments arrive and we are forced to deal with events we are not prepared for.. this is one of those times for those whom are experiencing the effects of Sandy... It is proving to be very devastating.. Thoughts and prayers are with all ... We are having wind, cold, and sleet in our area... but are very blessed to be in warm shelter of our home...

    " To live with content , with small means... to seek elegance rather than luxury and refinement rather than fashion.. to be worthy.. to be wealthy.. not rich.. to listen  to the stars, birds, babes with open hearts...  Bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely".. all lovely strong thoughts and words... I have shared these words by William Henry Channing before and love to read them as a reminder of what is truly important..
   As I enter the holidays with these simple thoughts of inspiration, I will continue to decorate with simple elegance rather the luxury as some desire... I have shared a picture of the small 2 foot tree I placed in the entry of our home.. decorated with the simple ornies that I created... The little clock faces turned out rather cute with some cutting and gluing and will blend with the other vignettes yet to be created in other parts of the home with ornies I have created for this years decorating...
    Tom had a crop insurance agent here for business this morning so I was delayed with challenging either the antique pie safe or the fireplace mantle for decorating today...until the afternoon hours after lunch...
     Sending prayers and blessings to those in need as we travel through the next couple days of storms and the effects it creates...
