TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…”


Why do we love the sea? Is it because it stirs up so many powerful emotions within us? Is it because of it's unlimited power and extreme vastness or simply because of it's incredible beauty? I love the sea for all these reasons.When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused.
I'm so lucky to live in Naples, Fl is such a beautiful place. No matter what's going on in my life, walking by the beach makes me feel better. I try to get there even on my busy days it gives me such delight each day.





I am inspired, I'm happy, I am blessed !!!!!!

I used to live by the sea . . . and loved it. I am now in the mountains (which I love, too) with ocean waves of memories to enjoy. I even have a special bath gel that smells like the sea, to me -- yummy and refreshing for those moments when I miss the sea. Fill a tub, slip in, close my eyes, and dance in the waves. Aaaahhhh, life is good.

Beautiful post, sweet Virginia. :D
