thankful thursday

in a season of hurry i am thankful i can roll with the punches. when plans change at a moments notice sometimes it's hard to find energy to change with them but this year i am grateful to have the reserves to draw on; it has not always been this way. i am grateful for friends who make contact to make plans and thankful family celebration plans are now in place (i'll think about the food shopping later). the lists both mental and actual are getting ticked off (the only way to go during this season). while the days fly past at breakneck speed I'm thankful our photo project reminds me to slow down and seek out the daily moments i might otherwise take for granted.

driving to meet a friend for dinner, trees were illuminated all over the village this one shed light on a church i've never noticed before.

The smile says it all -free mistletoe brought home from work with the obligatory Christmas jumper.....

At the first Christmas they follow the stars.....tonight you could follow the moon...a complete ball of light illuminating the darkness.

a day of changed plans. at the end of it, a perfect place for sisters to hang out; under a seasonally decorated tree.

christmas countdown - nineteen days to go

trees bought locally. nieces and nephews decorated while my sister and i drank tea. the girls, chatting as we drank, discovered perspective. many baubles were put on. half were taken off again.

Only at Christmas do golden bears with their marmalade grace shop windows and look just perfect.....

christmas countdown - twenty days to go

the railings of the visual branding company next door to our offices have been transformed into a christmas scene. impressive as you can only see it at certain angles.
