But it’s just not the same …. I do sometimes miss the beauty of winter. read more

The truth is the only thing worth having, and, in a civilized life, like ours, where so many risks are removed, facing it is almost the only courageous thing left to do.

The article goes on to ask some very disturbing questions about our freedoms … read more

So now faith, hope and love abide, these three;

I can feel the love energy today. I hope you can too, and that you’ll share it on your journeys today ♥

So much can change in a day. The thick layer of morning clouds, and our cool trade winds, have returned once again. And after a brief bought with the flu, I am feeling back to my “normal” self, whatever that is 😉
