finally got around to changing the living room table…

it has been the same since springtime, yikes…

took a little while to put away the shells, crystals, stones and books, as well as the sarongs that had been on the bottom of each of the four areas…

next, I found the Christmas box that had all the smaller purple, silver, white, and clear ornaments…

filled three squares and then brought down three angels that have special meaning for me to complete the last spot…

I’m pleased with the result although I haven’t quite decided what goes on the top, lol…

500, angels, beloved, big girl pants, blessed, blogging, followers, memories, missing, moments, Technology, ten, ten years, widow

today marks 10 years since I started blogging…

and when I look at my stats, it tells me I have reached 500 followers… wow…

it also means that ten years have passed since my beloved left me… ten years…

just yesterday a delivery arrived and the box smelled of cigarette smoke… haven’t smelled that for years and it reminded me of him, as he was a smoker…

I miss him all the time, but I also know he would be proud of how I have grown over these years…

this photo includes a wooden angel that he made for me;-)…

ten years…

had an idea the other day when I was watching tv upstairs… I’ve been thinking it was time to change up the display in the living room table, so I got started…

found a number of framed photos from the computer room and my collection of fancy gemstones…

I gathered up some of my angels… I have given away most of them, but kept a few of my favourites, lol…

brought everything to the living room table and had a lovely time putting them into the squares…

remembering where they came from and why they were special to me…

such a lovely walk down memory lane;-)…

for the last few years a dear friend has come over to help me with the Christmas decorating…

I’ve always loved Christmas but since the loss of my beloved it has lost a bit of its lustre…

this year I’ve been working away on my own to decorate… I decided to try some different options… took me a few weeks but it is done now…

have put my tree collection in the dining room where my pottery usually lives… and even passed along some pieces, yay for me;-)…

put up a new tree with purple and silver decorations and hung up the glass balls on either side of the picture above the sofa…

put the snow people up the stairs…

got a garland going along the ledge in the dining room… final piece was to put the glittery trees on the fish tank…

still might have my friend come by to check it all out…

then going to go through the rest of the Christmas boxes and maybe pass some decorations along to others…

there are the reindeer, the snowflakes, the nativities, the angels, the santas…

collection…

had some fun with pictures today…

reorganized a few items and took a few shots…

angels have been part of my collections forever… now it has been reduced to just a small group…

a few are handmade puppets;-)…

when my eyes aren’t glued to the tv, this is what I see… can see beams of light early in the day and also midday as well…

I do love sunlight…

angels, big girl pants, gone before, in our midst, special, tree, walk, widow

on a walk the other day I came across this little angel propped up against a tree in a place where few people would see her…


made me think of the angels among us… whether people who have gone before, or those in our midst who do those special things for us… and maybe we don’t even know they’ve done something…

had another wonderful evening with my ReImagining friends… some of us have been gathering since 1993 even before we attended the first conference in Minneapolis… these women are some of the angels in my life…

after a lovely dinner, we gathered in a circle with this in the centre…

we caught up on one another’s lives and had a conversation about love, and forgiveness… a safe place to share our deepest thoughts and challenge our beliefs…

as I left our gathering this gorgeous rose called to me, so I stopped to get a picture…

the sky was getting a bit ominous as I waited at a light, but thankfully it never amounted to anything… 

was happy that I arrived home just before darkness took over the sky… well timed and made for a nice drive…

this angel’s trumpet stood out as I walked into the garden from the garage… white flowers are so bright as dusk settles over the garden…

and right at the door this hibiscus flower welcomed me home…

great rejuvenating time…
