Far From the Maddening Crowd

Today is Black Friday, yet to me, no "bargain" is worth the crowds and the traffic.  I prefer the calm of this café in Delafied where Mother Nature did the holiday decorating. No crowds here...of course, it was only 10° this morning. 

Giving Thanks

November 28, 2013 Photo of the day: "Thank you"

As we gather around the Thanksgiving table, we pause to give thanks for our bountiful blessings. I am so thankful for my family (especially two silly little boys who love to cuddle and always make me laugh!), for my friends near and far, for my home, and for opportunities to travel, to be innovative and creative. This year, I am grateful for this project which has taught me to be observant and patient, to be present each day and to be inspired by the beauty of the ordinary and the extraordinary.
