Pensive

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

Was awake early; and thought may as well get up! Am enjoying my morning elixir of coffee; and it is tasting extra good today! It looks like it will be another gorgeous Spring day!

Want to address a comment made to me re: 'Birks Sterling' from yesterday's post. I am delighted for the comment; and I replied with THANKS! You may wish to refer to the comments for a tid of bittidz background.

Also, in the above photo, there is an oil painting of a rather pensive looking woman. That painting was from my Dad's side; and it looks as if it is from 1786 or 1886; all we can see is / 86. We are doing our best to 'decipher' some history; hard to read the name of the artist. On the back, there was 'brown parchment paper'; which we removed; and 'lo and behold', there was an old painting of a an old fishing boat, two fishermen, their nets, driftwood, the outgoing tide, and the beach! It would be interesting to 'restore' the scene; it really is quite lovely; UNUSUAL. Both antique dealers specifically expressed interest in that piece (a couple of other oil paintings as well); so we gingerly brought the portrait down from the wall. Along with the horse vase; only to be replaced with the bronze lady Head Vase - looks much better to the eyes. (You may be able to see the bronze lady Head Vase; she is 'pensive' as well - from earlier posts...April 21st etc). Anyway, I thought that was a bit of tidbitz to share with you!

Also, have not forgotten about sharing a few tidbits from 'Hour of Power' (www.hourofpower.org); 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (www.joycemeyer.org); and 'Living Truth' (www.livingtruth.ca). However, methinks it is best if you check these International Bible Teachers out for your own knowledge and wondrous benefit. I just 'ripped up' my notes; because they are from a few weeks ago; and I do not think I can do them the proper justice now. Instead, (apart from watching the Vision Channel on Sundays), will also refer online, and then copy / paste some of their encouraging bittids on to my posts. Then it is more accurate, direct, and perhaps even more impactful and empowering for your 'Seek and Ye Shall Find' mission, if you wish to know more about Him etc.

Tidbit - Reflect and appreciate your Blessings daily! Ask Him to Guide you through each day; it is amazing how much better you feel!

Bittid - 'Pensive' is an interesting word.
"pen·sive (pnsv)
adj.
1. Deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful.
2. Suggestive or expressive of melancholy thoughtfulness".

I looked up the meaning of 'pensive' and this particular description makes me pensively think of the Pensive looking Portrait of the young woman on our wall. Wonder what her thoughts were at the time when she was painted? The antique dealer (the one who was here in the morning), suggested that the woman should be smiling? Well; that is part of her charm, methinks.

Can also enjoy a passionate fascination for the history of antiques, collections, wonderful family sentimental heirlooms, or whatever. There is always something new to be learned; as well as hearing interesting tales from others, associated with various old, historic, rare, and / or dear to the heart pieces! Pondering, and being genuinely appreciative of knowledge is good, in all regards, methinks.

Have to go for now; hope to be back later.

Peace and God Bless.
