“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in,

where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.”

  1. Beautiful photos, Florence. The lake images are so calming and peaceful, even in a photograph.
    I’m still meditating on your earlier post about crossing things off the to-do list. That’s so hard for us type-A folks.

    1. Hi Karen, I’m really glad you liked the photos. It was a calming and peaceful place. I remarked one day last week that I felt like I was finally remembering who I was. On a different note, those lists really can get the best of us. And I imagine your list is quite full these days! It’s really good to hear from you. I have your youngest in my prayers and you, as well.
