How I love a good fiction book that takes me away to different places and reveals the problems, loves, and challenges of other individuals.

How I love a new small purchase that makes me happy with daily living. This kitchen counter lamp was a spur of the moment buy to brighten up a dark corner. 

How I love sentimental family treasures. This dulcimer was made and played by my dad. The granddaughter he never got to meet has it displayed on a wall in her living room.

 

I'm trying to stay positive in today's confusing world. Tuesday's devotional  mentioned that struggles and pain are to strengthen our faith. 

Jesus said, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

                                                                                              -John 16:33

Watching the people of Ukraine leave their homes with a few belongings to face an uncertain future is heartbreaking and shows their remarkable courage. Prayers for those who are staying and fighting the Russian invasion. Prayers for wise decisions by world leaders. Prayers for peace.

Last Day of the Month Thoughts

 Computer woes have made posting difficult. I wonder if it is because so many are using the internet now. Where did January go? 

I haven't killed this pretty orchid yet.

Grandson Lucas gave my artist figures some new poses.

 While cleaning out my writing desk I came across these two feathers I had saved. 

Enjoying the Christmas gift from Olga and the boys. Many times I sit here in my chair with a book or iPad.

Green is my go to color.

One new painting titled "Louisiana Memories"

A Hint of Blue

I didn't realize we had touches of blue in our master bedroom until I purchased a small table lamp for reading.

Cream, brown, and black are the principal colors in the bedroom. These snatches of blue were a nice discovery after adding the lamp.

Sentimental Objects

I've been up to my old habit of rearranging things. Sentimental me has to have objects out where I can see them. I love being surrounded with personal belongings that are full of meaning and memories.

Hope your week is off to a lovely start. Thank you for visiting.
