HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011

Happiness is too many things these days for anyone to wish it on anyone lightly. 

So let’s just wish each other a bileless New Year and leave it at that

STAINED GLASS WINDOW

People are like stained-glass windows. 

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, 

but when the darkness sets in, 

their true beauty is revealed only if 

there is a light from within.

GOODBYE 2010

GENEROSITY

I re-discovered my Kahlil Gibran.

And found a forgotten favourite quote:

"Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, 

but it is giving me that which you need more than I do"

 

CHRISTMAS AT JENNIFER'S

My good friend, Jennifer, invited me to her home for Christmas.
She is a wonderful homemaker and cook.
Below are some photos of her home decorated for Christmas.
And the Christmas Eve dinner she cooked .........
1) roast lamb
2) shepherd pie
3) fruit and vegetable salad
4) mushroom soup
5) red wine

BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught me heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home
