Grateful for Water

I am grateful on this day, 
Tuesday, 7th December 2010,
for Water


We are still snowbound,
the car is stuck on the drive 
and the water pipes are frozen!


I'm not able to use my washing machine!
The shower is out of use too,
and 
the temperature is not set to rise 
until the weekend!



Having said all of that
I'm still grateful,  
we have water piped 
to our house
most of the time!
Beautiful
Precious 
Water!




For those of you who 
enquired
and wished me a lovely weekend
in the BIG CITY,
the 'Dior Exhibition',
yes it was wonderful
Thank you

Water, the life blood of the Sacred Eartrh Mother. Ironically, that will be my "Virgin" tomorrow. Hope you get thawed out soon. I know how this is as I have had similar experiences when I moved to the Northland in 1974 an a young naive man and tried to tame the weather without knowledge or fear.
I love the image you posted. I would love to see a painting such as this in person someday. Great post.

Peace.

Yes, water is so precious. Before 2010 we went through three years of droughts in a row. It's scary. And so many people just take it for granted and waste is thoughtlessly.
I hope you will "thaw" soon and get back your "normal" water.

Water and a beautiful Brugel to boot. There are so many things to be thankful for. I'll have to look at Gratitude Tuesdays.

Good evening Sue. Difficult times for you but you have created beauty and focused on gratitude daily knowing that help is not far away if needed. The Brugel Madonna is beautiful.

Is that all the Dior we are going to get out of you??
More Dior please. You did take your camera I presume?
No washing is good washing. It can wait.

I am grateful for the water at your home this evening as I have none at my own home...

Sue,
Incredibly beautiful photos. I especially love the trees with the window superimposed. So lovely it takes my breath away. I am sorry that the weather is encroaching upon you and that you are having to depend upon your own resources to stay warm and clean. I appreciate the fact that you still share such beauty and gratitude with us. We are forever grateful for you.
xo,
Noelle

Gathering Myself

Today I'm taking a little me time, doing what I love to do, just digital doodling. My mind has been on dolls, motherhood, Mary and the coming season. Recently an acquaintance posted about  ' Rag Doll ',  this is me at the moment, I feel a bit like a rag doll, the stuffing has been knocked out a little. So I'm taking time to just be, to gather myself, to see where I can patch things up a bit, maybe a dash of rouge will do the trick!  I'm giving myself some 'Mary mother love'. I'm sending back my thanks via Virgin a Day Recuerda mi Corazon I once had a sweet little doll, dears, The prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so red and so white; dears, And her hair was so charmingly curled. But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; And I cried for her more than a week, dears; But I never could find where she lay. I found my poor

Navigating Home

Well here I am again!  Wonder of wonders that I am even showing up at all in this little blog wilderness having uprooted my faithful old friend Finding my Bliss by way of messing up the template!  The one who safely sailed me through Bloglandia for all of those years was interfered with in an abrupt manner (see previous post).   I know it may sound silly but I feel like I am grieving for what was my sanctuary and residence, I am feeling kind of lost with nothing familiar to cling to, but alas I do have one place that is very much like home and so there I will share a little haiku with my friends... By way of haiku navigate a place called home the 'heart' gathering... On the subject of home and the insecurity of having no solid ground to tread on, that's where I am finding myself at present as I'm in the throws of purchasing a new home and going through a very sticky patch with the legalities of it all.  It's going at a snail's pace and I'
