“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful.
They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness —
Just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breathe it;
Just warmth and shelter and home folks;
Just plain food that gives us strength;
The bright sunshine on a cold day;
And a cool breeze when the day is warm.”
(Words of wisdom by Laura Ingalls Wilder, photographs from my grateful heart.)
Thanks for sharing Laura’s words and your pictures! xo xo
Thanks for the blessing of your friendship!! xo
We look back at the years and see just how winding the trail has been to reach the now. The trek ahead may be uncertain but there is a light that shines on you traveling this new and unmapped path. Using what you’ve learned from the road behind and your grace and compassion will surely get you through the next year’s journey.
So well said, and I’m grateful for your companionship on this journey!
Exactly right. It reminds me of the children’s song: “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings see what the Lord has done” I count my blessings, most are very small, and some are really large. Among the large blessing, I count you and I’m very
grateful for you!
Awwww, I’m so glad we’re sisters!!
In all reality it is the simplest every day things that really matters. Each day, each breath is a Blessing!!!
