Beautiful Sunset

There is a long shadow across the sky at the left of this photo.

As the sun was setting, at just the right angle,

Denali ~ cast a shadow on the clouds.

Beautiful Sunset!

Today's Weather

Today's weather is actually not so nice. During the night the clouds moved in and covered the moon.  These clouds are heavy with moisture and at 32 degrees Fahrenheit it is raining and not snowing.

I live about three miles from work and it took 20 minutes to get here this morning.  Crazy warm day.

Drive carefully and only leave the house if you must!

Fresh Snow

Happy Monday!

Long and Short

The long and short of the day run me out of time.  No time to do. No time to see.  The only sliver of light in this long day flickers into my world then quickly fades into the darkness.

Snow laden clouds move across the sky and diminish my view into falling flakes.  The long day has a short end, and in a nanosecond there is no time left, no light of day to guide my way and the long night begins.

Theme for Bear's senior class homecoming float ~ Vikings!

Victorious Senior Vikings!

His sixth hour class are the craftsmen behind the float.  Bear made the framework for the ship and the swords and axes they will carry.

Beautiful Evening

It was a good day, a great afternoon and a beautiful evening!

Here is to another glorious day!

Fill Me Up

Fill me up with your love.

Overflow me to the brim with 

compassion and your gentle touch.

Smooth all the rough edges of my 

tattered nerves. 

Till I am faultless in your eyes.

Hold me.

Love me.

Cherish me.

House Rules

 

...

Out All Night

It is the weather that keeps you out all night, and away from me.  All the sky clouded in white flakes that gather into storms and blind you from your path home.

It is the weather that takes you away from your warm bed and comfortable sleep.  All the world around us hidden from sight among the gales and waves that conceal you from me.  Ride the waves, wipe away the flakes and find your way home.
...

Castle Dreaming

Dreaming of castles and a land abroad. Yet we can be inspired by our average every day surroundings. Whether you have been where you are now one day or a million, look around and see life in all its glory and goodness.

Explore your world with new eyes and a light heart.  

You never know what you will find.

...

Linger

Love comes quickly in the hour of need.  Your heart ascends to the fever of the flames.  Loves need will be fulfilled, all cost to the wind will be thrown. 

When the wheat is bundled to dry in the Autumn wind, the harvest is gathered and winters stores be cached, let your love cool not. May it's heat remain even into the dark of winters night.  Tempered only under his satisfying embrace.  

Love comes quickly to those in need and stays a lifetime for those who love with a pure heart.

Long linger loves true kiss.

Happy People

Happy people are just the most irritating type of people to those who's dreams have been torn to the seams. They laugh and joke, those happy people, not knowing that each joyful tone sends daggers through the heart of the wounded. Smiling and giggling, everything cherry and bright. Everything so full of sticky sweet, clogging and suffocating love.

To those who suffer the pains of the heart know that this too shall pass. The wound may never completely heal but there will come a time when someone will enter your life and restore your spirit. You too will be one of those happy people.

The Fight for Women's Suffrage

On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy: Disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

All

All the words left unspoken. 

All those things we wish we would have said.

Never be left behind.  Never feel the regret.

...

The Way

There is a light that radiates from above, guiding us onto greatness.  There is a spark of hope that emits from our hearts, binding us in love.  There is an illumination that shines from our souls, steadfast and constant showing us the way.

There is within us all, the power, and the love to obtain greatness.
