Christmas has come and gone again this year! Every year the older I grow things seem to race by so much faster. So many times I have found myself recently remembering things that I had  once thought of as a young lass happening exactly as I imagined them! And just like that those one time experiences have come and gone it all feel a bit odd, yet this may just be that kind of season in life and things may settle down in time. I have learned so much about myself this year, it seems to me that the older we get the less we realize how much we know about ourselves! There is one thing that remains the foundation for everything within this great adventure called life! There is infallible wisdom to direct, unchangeable love to comfort, and eternal power that always defends! Thanking the Lord for such profound blessings! With so much beautiful scenery taking hikes or walks is fast becoming one of my favorite pass times. The picture is a bridge not 10 minutes from my house, the morning was brisk as the Sun had just risen, there is so much peace in this picture!

     Gently the shallows froze with Mid winter's cold as the long months were about to set in, a young lady quietly approached taking in the small yet raging river refusing it appeared to freeze completely over as the stream raged on! The beauty engulfed the shore and the scattered rocks amidst the flowing  water the picture was just a trivial attempt to capture the view! Shorelines decorated with ice and large red bushes this new place was now home! Strange some ten days before home had been quite a different place. Temporal still yet a moment in time that there was so much learned and gained through these experiences. Now reunited with family another chapter turned soon after thus so quickly. A season to always remember and thank God for the many blessing within.
