Flower of the Day December 5

These flowers were in the Municipal Park in Elche, Spain. They looked like mums, but may not be. They look as though God himself painted them that vibrant yellow that soothes our souls. Thank you, God, for the color yellow! What a gift!   Posted for Cee's Photography's Flower of the Day December 5, 2018

Flower of the Day December 4, 2018

This wall of flowers was so interesting to me as Douglas and I visited the Roman ruins in the middle of the city of Alicante, Spain. The Roman ruins are called Licentum Ruinas Romanas. The name of the flowers was nowhere to be found, but they were so beautiful that my heart just felt peace... Continue Reading →

Sometimes We Wait Too Late!

Every time I stand or sit on the beach, I regret not knowing how to swim. I wish that I had learned how to swim when I was a little girl. But, as I wrote before, my mother did not let me learn to swim, ride a bike, or skate, stating that I might get... Continue Reading →

Flower of the Day Challenge

Another bloom from the beauties at the Huerto del Cura Gardens in Elche, Spain. I loved this flower because it reminded me of a hummingbird hovering as it partakes of the nectar from a flower.  I forgot to get the names of the flowers, and just took pictures as my heart was touched by them....

Never Forget How Quickly They Grow Up

As I looked around the room at my grandchildren holding their children, I felt as though I had time-traveled into the future, not quite able to come to grips with the fact that the ones whom I used to change their diapers and give good-night kisses were already parents. It didn't seem possible that the... Continue Reading →

Losing the Art of Listening

Last weekend was special because I saw some of my granddaughters whom I had not seen in a while, due to their family and work commitments whenever Douglas and I are in Atlanta. While sitting down to talk, I found myself on my birthday trying to be heard among a group of twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings... Continue Reading →

A Gift for Big Tony: Saturday Weekly Challenge

He enters the ring every Wednesday night, whether he is feeling like it or not. The kiddies especially are looking for "Big Tony" to put up a good "fight," and he is paid to see that they are fully entertained. I cringe when I see him heading for the ring, sending up prayers of God's... Continue Reading →

Finding Peace: December Writing Prompts

Walking through the forest alone, Listening to the birds singing as I went, I felt a weight drop from my heart, But I did not know what it meant. There between the clover and the dampened earth, I heard a still small voice speaking to me. "Regina, I know your name and you are mine,"... Continue Reading →
