Good morning lil' friend, the coffee is yummy on this windy Spring morn, we have no sun either, it's a balmy 55, with rain in the forecast...a good day to be at work and maybe when I get home, the sun will be shining...it only takes a few seconds for us huh!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your samplers and mine reminds me every day to-"never underestimate the power of the human spirit"...hey Tilda, I'm still in wool...LOL!
The framed memorial is bittersweet in tone, an important mentor now gone. Likewise, the frame is in shadow as well as sun - the sunny days of that life more powerful than the shade. A look at a loved one whose life had more brightness than not...
ReplyDeleteRobin, I am always amazed at your "little slices of life" that you present in your blog. Instead of going for The Big Picture, you go for the little one. And you allow us to see much that we would miss otherwise. Thank you.

A seeker of shadows, they say,
Will keep her eyes peeled night and day
For resident shades
That haunt the dark glades
And never come outside to play.

Yes, that Last Lecture is amazing, isn't it? So inspiring and moving. And, we know that this is how we should be living our lives each day-being in the moment and living it as though it were our last.

Lovely angle, and warm photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the tones and shadows of your photo this week, and your quote is oh so true.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful earthy warmth in these old frames! They almost seem to be embossed in the wall! Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteVery timely for me, I just returned from a memorial service for a friend and neighbor who also faced death with grace and kindness. I watched the first ten minutes of this and will make time for the rest.
ReplyDeleteStylish shot with a wise quote.
ReplyDeleteMy hand? Right now very good. I try to stop and listen and after that make decisions...
Have a good week ahead!
