Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Merry Christmas Blessings for SkyWatch Friday~

Forty two years ago this evening, my husby and I were married in Dallas, Texas.

Happy Anniversary Bus~  Ting

The Australian Emu, met me at my car, and seemed to be pleading with me to give it some warmth.  It had it's feathers all ruffled out and it was only the start of a very cold season with winter approaching~


The skies were shouting my name to look and take in the breath of the offering, for the gift soon was gone and new gifts followed...take time to stop and enjoy the heavens.  I look up as much as I look down...so much would be missed otherwise~


Asian speices of deer, called Oriental Sika~





The sun was coming up and showered the homes beneath with gold dust aglow~




Goodnight moon~










~ Merry Christmas Blessings ~

    Happy Anniversary to you both.Today is also my sister's 59th anniversary. I am hoping against hope that she makes it to her 80th birthday in May and, God willing to their 60th anniversary, The cancer is a very aggressive kind and the doctors are not holding out much hope.

    I wish you peace at Christmas time . . . Arija

    Looking up is always to a good idea. Looking around is often just as rewarding. Nice work.
