Waiting...

 

Sometimes waiting is the best course of action. During a difficult period in my life I clung to these words:

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,

and he shall strengthen thine heart:

wait, I say, on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14

Corkey and I visited Mother yesterday and tried our best to bring a few smiles to her face. We are realizing more and more that she prefers sleep to us. She is soooo tired. But as long as she recognizes us, talks a little to us, and presses our hands, we know it's been a wonderful visit. On her best days I get a strong hug, and when I say," I love you, Mom" she replies "I love you, too." Precious words.

 

   

 

I have been spending some of my time rearranging items here in the house. I brought the desk organizer from the art room to the guest bedroom. 

 

 

 

I like its side handles, the slot for writing pen, and the dividers. 

 

 

 

 

 

That flower frog is waiting for just the right postcard or note. 

 

Happy Saturday, dear friends, wherever you are.

It's On My Desk

Since I spend time at my desk, I like to surround myself with small cherished treasures. I look at them and remember pleasurable times. Sometimes a few desk accessories get buried under papers and assorted junk, but after a while I clear the clutter away. Two handy items are the clip for receipts and the letter opener. Here's

an antiquing story about the letter opener holder...actually a candle holder. I noticed it and told myself I really didn't need it. I passed on it. But on a followup trip I noticed it again. The price was reduced because the booth owner was closing down and moving to another state. Because this person was always so friendly and cordial, I decided I wanted a keepsake reminder of her. So I have it as well as the special memories connected to it. Have a lovely Thursday by crossing someone's path and making it better. Hugs, Sandy
