   I love having my coffee each morning while sitting at the kitchen table.  There is a very big window there where I can look out and enjoy the day outside, especially when the sun is shining.  When I open the blinds the sun fills my kitchen with light, it's very uplifting.  Alas, no sunshine to fill the room today,  it's a very gloomy overcast morning. 

I sat at the table and enjoyed my coffee missing the beautiful sun rays that usually warms my spirit and heart . . . and then I spotted this little rose . . .

One little rose way down low, peeking out looking for the sunshine too!

Somehow knowing I wasn't alone made me feel so much better.


Sweet little rose
looking for the sun!
I'm looking too
where has it gone.
One thing for sure
this I know,
We still have the SON
He'll never go!
His light still shines
on days of gloom
filling our hearts
 making us bloom.

Thank You Lord



I was so blessed to be at GLOW last Saturday.  Only four of us met but we managed to have three wonderful hours together.   Laughter and sistership, it was wonderful.  

 

This is Pat, she is a sweetheart, precious friend.

On the left is Sandy, we just had our 47th friendship anniversary.

On the right is Arlene, a dear, dear friend.

For those that might not know ~ 

GLOW is God Loves Older Women.

I'm off to the beauty shop this afternoon, long past due for a haircut.  Looking forward to visiting all my blog friends later this afternoon.

Wishing you a very happy and blessed day

Until Next Time

  6. Glow sounds like a wonderful group of women. Some of my friends here at the apartment are old enough to be my mother. It's wonderful to hear their wisdom. One lady is 94 and still goes out and volunteers everyday, Monday through Friday. She drives herself all over. She never takes the elevator, but uses the stairs to get to her apartment. Always a happy smile. She is also our next door neighbor and a joy to me.
    Your poem is beautiful and so is that sweet rose.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
