down...but not out....

'afternoon blogettes...

bright sunshiney

and 

very cold

here at 9 rowland

today...

we had a huge

snowstorm 

tuesday night

into yesterday...

just about 2 feet

of the beautiful

white stuff 

sent to us by

God...

as a friend put it..

another one of

His miracles...

aside from the snow...

things have been a little

topsy turvy for me here...

however..

i have made up my

mind that

while some of the

things and/or events...

might knock me back

for a bit...

they will

definitely 

NOT 

keep me down...

that being said...

i wanted to show

you this beautiful

beaded table runner

i found

at 

pier I...

the colors are just

perfect for the

room and

i am and have

always been

all about

beaded things...

so 

i am in my glory!!

and..

here is something

my daughter 

dana

made for me

for 

christmas...

isn't it grand?

and 

oh so timely..

given my recent

chain of events!!

so that too is one

of my new mantras...

look for the silver lining

in everything!!!....

as always...

thanks for taking

the journey

with me...

be sure to 

keep

that love and sunshine

in your hearts

today and always...

be well....

warmly........susan
