What Brings You Peace...

It was a week that ended in losses for myself and some close to me.  My Uncle Mick from Ireland passed in his sleep the other day and it was a whirl wind for my poor mother get plane tickets and rush to get there so she could be pay respects to her brother and our family.  So I am ending this week with a  post on images and spaces that inspire peace.  I think that right now the earth and those who live here could use a moment of inner peace or at least have somewhere that they may escape to find it. 
I wish you all a good weekend, life is fragile be kind to others and most of all yourself!




IRELAND


The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.














I Love the light at the top of the stairs.....

  3. Karolyn dear, This post brings a little tear to my eye. I am so sorry for the loss of you Uncle and the sadness that your family is enduring right now. In some ways it is made even more poignant knowing families in the country are traveling for happy reunions this season. We were in the hospital for the holidays with my dear dad 5 years ago before he passed on Jan. 4th. I do understand the bittersweetness of this season for you and yours.
    Hugs to you today,
    Heather
