Seasons

I’ve never liked change. I’m comfortable where I am. But I’m certain that this doesn’t matter. Life goes on, things change. Seasons change. We change. *** Sweet Shot Tuesdays Communal Global Love Dare * Have you met my beautiful friend Bobbie? She’s posting this week at Pearls for Girls. She’s a first time blogger and...

Gorgeous images of change and Spring. How nice of you to post about this pretty first-time blogger. Have a wonderful week. xo

Two of my children take after their mama and don’t like change either. It’s quite interesting trying to get them to let go of “things” because of the memories they hold.

Love all the color and bokeh. Beautiful flower photos,… and using them as an apt metaphor for change is perfect :)

I think the seasons changing is one of the most amazing things – how it just happens!

Beautiful captures of spring! Goes to show some changes are lovely, and not all bad. :)

Girlie, you KNOW I
can so relate to this,
with my daughter
leaving in the fall
for college. I’ve known
this season was ahead
for a long, long, time,
yet it still kicks me in
the gut if I think about
it too much, especially
because, to chase her
dream, it will be far
away {geographically}
from home.

Beautiful pics, as always!

Beautiful post, Lady! And, I agree. Change is often uncomfortable. Thankfully, it always seems to be for the best, tho.

i am never without it

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s...

Thank you for your post-
I love the glitter
and the ornaments-my Mom had some of those EXACT ornaments on our tree. She has been gone for more years than I care to recall and so have those ornaments. I think this was her way of sending me a Merry Christmas, I Love You today :-)
I needed that :-)
Merry, Merry Christmas~
Thank you again for sharing-
Julia

Merry Christmas Patty! I love your beautiful captures of Christmas! Those vintage ornaments are so dreamy! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful last week of 2012 and a great start to 2013! xoxo

Thanks Giving

 I am as enamored with autumn leaves, as I am with spring blossoms. Each one, delicate, detailed, defined. Different. And beautiful. How easy it would be to walk by, unnoticed. Unblessed by their existence. Just like many of the other abundant little gifts we are given. * “Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it,...

We don’t have this tradition in Finland, nor in Romania, but I like seeing pictures from my friends who celebrate.. enjoy and don’t eat too much turkey! :D

Change of Seasons

 Look at you, standing there. Tall And strong, Firmly rooted in the earth.Arms outstretched, providing refuge for those smaller than you.They say you are aging, becoming dry and brittle.But I know it’s just a change in seasons.You wore these colors well, but it’s time to let them fall. Expose your true structure and strength. See what you are...

Beautiful images. Fall is always invigorating to me after the heat of summer. And I love the bare trees of winter, when you can see their true shapes. It’s all an ongoing cycle. Leaves fall, trees rest, they’re reinvigorated. One of life’s many miracles.
