I have a very large rose garden, its obviously wanning in the colder weather, but I told my husband yesterday I wanted to cut all my roses and drop them off at the hospital for the nurses, he scared me, he said there isn't enough to go around, how would they decide, that made me feel uncomfortable, so still mulling that idea over... <br /><br />your all white is lovely, I love monochromatic, I do silver for the holidays, the glint of light always catches my eye when I pass by.a quiet lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764214603632867021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-25425617028226644832020-12-04T13:14:23.265-06:002020-12-04T13:14:23.265-06:00Kris, your place looks gorgeous and your mom's...Kris, your place looks gorgeous and your mom's angel looks right at home.

Random acts of kindness are so important. Even little things - leaving the grocery store that I drive several miles out of my to shop at because they are very good about cleaning carts, belts, and reminding people to wear masks - as I was returning my cart I mentioned to the attendant and her special needs assistant who were wiping down the carts that I was very thankful for them...I appreciate the work they do to keep me safe and I feel that they are essential workers. The young woman teared up, put her hand on her heart and said "thank you...most people just yell at me." You never know when your kind works will make a difference!

The way we survive this mess we are trudging through is to stay active, active in connecting with others by service. This is where the true joy comes from, isn't it my friend? Your finds are amazing. Totally accessible to you so that it's possible that you reach a few more women. Your styling skills go beyond the home; you made each bag so special so that each woman feels like a queen. Then there is your mantle...what can I say but that it's perfection.
