As I mentioned, Mike and I just returned from a trip to Arizona. I took lots of cool photos as that Arizona sunshine makes for some great light!
The first few days of our trip were spent in a church at a workshop. It was such a good workshop! It deserves its own post so I will save that for next week. Today, it's about the Arizona sunshine!
After the workshop days we spent time with my mother-in-law, Carol. She's a funny lady. She always begins a visit by warning us that she doesn't cook many meals any more and there may be slim-pickin's. Then, she feeds us and feeds us and feeds us! After a hearty meal she may say something like, "I don't really have any dessert." Then, she'll bring out cookies or candies or something. On the nights that she DOES have dessert, it is cake or pie or ice cream and fruit or any combination of those items. OK, relatives who read this blog, you know that's true, huh? I always return with a few extra pounds on me!
Seriously, I have been blessed with a very generous mother-in-law. She loves her family and always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel special. One of my favorite things about her is that she CHOOSES to experience joy. She has endured more than her share of grief and we'd all understand if she wanted to indulge in a bit of self-pity, but that just isn't her style. She told me that would just make things harder on her and those around her. She chooses joy. There is a good lesson in that, don't you think?
So, where are all the sunshine pictures, you ask? Those of you who live in a cold climate know what a treat it is to be warmed up a bit in the middle of Winter. I'd like to share some of that warm feeling with you now...
Do you remember when television shows ended with hints about next week's program? Do any of the shows do those little teasers anymore? Anyway, I'm going to. Besides a post about the wonderful workshop we attended, I'm going to do a post about the day I found evidence of an angel at the window. Intrigued? Well then, tune in next week!
Thank-you for stopping by. Feel free to use my photos but please link them back to my blog. I am honored if you wish to share content of any of my posts on Facebook, Twitter, etc. as long as it is linked back to my blog.
