A Monday Spring Morning


Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

This morning, it is a clear sunny day, with vast blue skies! Can appreciatively see the beautiful snow capped mountains in the distance; and when one can view the mountains, good weather is in the forecast! Was up early; I love this special time of year! ie the freshness of new growth and thriving life.

Am content to 'letting go' of our Lady Head Vase Collection, and to that end, I have been in touch with a few people to offer them 'first dibs'. I have enjoyed these wonderful 'Ladies', since I started to collect them in 1991. Now, it is time to share them with others; and I will save a few 'favourites' (there are so many; perhaps I will keep 20 out of the approx 750). We have 4 boxes of gently packed Lady Head Vases, that have yet to make it to the cabinets (not enough room); as well as more Ladies perching on the underneath covered shelves of our display cabinets. Plus, the few Ladies in our 'cooking cupboard'; you can refer to my January 24th post, 'Food for thought!' for some bittids of background. Also, to the January 26th post, 'Our Lady Head Vase Collection' for some extra tidbits; as well as the two most recent posts.

When the Ladies have moved on, then I look forward to rearranging some items! LOL! ie To replace the Ladies on the cabinet shelves, with antique china and various silver pieces; which will be further protected from dust and tarnish.

Also, I 'collect' oyster plates; have not done so for awhile; however, the ones we have, I love; and perhaps when things stabilize, there may be one or two more to add. They may also reside in the cabinet! It is so easy with 'collections' to mushroom; particularly over the years! Am sure some of you who 'collect', can relate! LOL!

Methinks, 'less is best'. Enjoy the few tidbit pieces you collect, have been given etc; and keep things simple; and be Thankful for your Blessings as well. As a 'collector', it is fun and interesting to 'collect'; however, I have reached the stage where we have 'enough'. Everything is 'on loan' anyway, as it all belongs to Him. 'When you come into this world, you bring nothing with you; and when you leave, you take nothing with you'.

Writing of 'passing away', a family friend was murdered a few days ago; and we are numb with shock; there are no words to describe this senseless killing. None of it makes any sense; all very strange. Will say an Intercessary Prayer for her and her family each day.

Tidbit - 'Power of Intercessary Prayer' is such a huge comfort; and apart from Praying for others, it is also uplifting for the ones Praying.

Bittid - 'Keep on trekking'; and having a positive attitude, Relying on Him, works best, in all situations.

Hope to be back in a bittidz with some tidbitz from the Vision Channel re: 'Hour of Power', 'Enjoying Everyday Life', and 'Living Truth'. The daffodils are now starting to bloom mightily forth; we have some (store bought) in our special silver vase. In the near future, will take a picture of this vase, with some freshly picked daffodils from our bittid garden!

God Bless.
