Remembering What's Important

I've come to the conclusion

that happiness

 seldom fits like a glove

That clutter 

is the tinsel of

Live, 

Laugh, 

Love

💗

Some tinsel-tatters of the weekend...

(Victoria's hand-painted valentines)

Furniture rearranged for comfort, not style!

Sunday was a wonderful day for a winter walk...

...and sometimes instead of the futility of scolding about pet peeves we just 

let. it. be...😍

Today in Ontario, Canada we are celebrating Family Day!

Cherish.

Jim and many others do not have a holiday today.

Thank-you snowplow-drivers, truck-drivers, healthcare workers etc.!

Here's to remembering what matters and letting go of what doesn't!

Who knows what a day may bring?!

Rememb’ring what’s important 

Hand to hold, a hug 

Thinking more of others 

As we learn to love 

Remembering what matters 

(put that phone away) 

While the young child chatters 

While he wants to play 

Remembering to let go 

Of the bitter grudge 

Lest its malice poisons 

All we taste and touch 

Remembering the merit 

Of love’s chast’ning rod 

Knowing we can bear it 

If we yield to God 

Remembering to cherish 

What we have and hold 

Soon yon echo-chariots 

Refine gray to gold

Rememb'ring to be reckless

With kind word and kiss

Priming time's momentous

Metamorphosis

Remembering the treadle

 Making memories

From the common mettle

Of moments like these

 

Remembering what matters 

Never mind the mess 

With its homespun tatters 

We weave happiness

A few more mementos

And on the golf-front

Jordan Spieth and Spieth-fans hopes soared

and fell with the ball!

Better, but not Best.

Best goes to Daniel Berger!

What an impressive eagle putt on the 18th for the well-deserved win!

Dear family, church-family, friends, neighbours, and blog-visitors...

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, 

remembering you in my prayers.
