Shadows are not all darkness

Textures: Aurora Kim Klassen, Jennifer Nancy Clayes, Big Bad Wolf  Love That Shot, Cover Shadowhouse Creations

 
The thing about shadows is that they're not all darkness.
You need to have light to have shadows.
So just look for it.
 
Meredith Walters


Regardless the shadow, my neck problems are casting over my life at the moment, I'm  trying to focus my attention on the things on the bright side: Moments when being able to take a walk outside, reading a few pages in a book, having a good rest ... and my sweet, caring family and friends (thank you for all your sweet notes and comments!) 

The unexpected breaks in our everyday life seem to take place when we least expect them, yet they're sharpening the intensity and appreciation of the things, we often take for granted.


Let's cherish the little things this week - the tiny notions that bring a smile on our faces, and the funny coincidences in life,

Nina

  5. Hi Nina! (I see that finger!!)
    So sorry to hear about your neck? It must be so upsetting, you need a steady neck to take photos and to sit and type at the computer too. I will be praying for your swift recovery, and that your friends and family love you to health. May God bless you!
