sending the love

i'm sending out love and prayers today - that is heavy on my heart.  if you could take a moment right now and touch the screen (yes, it seems silly i know but i do that when you ask from my love or prayers) and think of someone that may need your love and prayers...i thank you. 

for those of you trying to dig out of the snow and ice - i'm sending warm thoughts.  i think this may be phil's revenge for not getting to play with his shadow this week.

i really do not have much more to say today. the rain has kept us inside too and icicles hanging from cars in the parking deck were a bit worrisome but i got home safe and sound.  home to a good beef stew and heat. 

the weekend is upon us and i am dog sitting for three cuties this weekend.  i think i will for once, enjoy being at home with them instead of envying the trip their mommy and dad are taking to new orleans this weekend.  sending smiles your way and happy thoughts for a good weekend....

my thought for the day:  'not knowing when the dawn will come, i open every door' ~ emily dickinson

my song of the day: take it to the limit ~ the eagles

my comfort of the day:  leftover beef stew, a cup of coffee and drooling over the new pottery barn catelog.

    With 6 more inches of snow and sleet predicted tomorrow, and a blockbuster snowstorm predicted for next Thursday, I'm praying for Spring :)

    i'm kind of enjoying my time in right now....
    the roads are completely free of anything....our crews are amazing. and it's 22 degrees outside and the sun is burning....

    but i don't really have to go out....so playing inside today sounds like a winner to me...

    have fun dog sitting :) and staying in.....

    I'm having the same kind of day here....dreary and ugly, thinking of others, wondering, somber feelings. And yet...."the sunny side of the street" just started playing. Makes me smile! I like "touching the screen"....yep, a sweet connection! Stay warm and safe.

    Beef stew sounds so good right about now. Feeling the prayers and sending them out there. It has been a prayerful couple of days for me.
    Have a great weekend with those puppies.

    So many fingerprints on the screen - a lovely idea, not silly. Your weekend sounds cozy. Enjoy every moment. What kind of "cuties" will share your space?

    There's a couch in that catalog that I have my eye on. And it's on sale.

    And I can't afford it anyway.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    I love the photo you used for this post. It evokes a prayerful, hopeful, comforting kind of quality...must like your words.

    Happy recuperative weekend to you.

    I'm thinking of you. And I did say just such a prayer. And no, it's not silly to touch the screen, but I do think it may just be a southern thing. I remember all the hands reaching forward in prayer when I was a kid in Georgia.

    Sending you a touch and a prayer this weekend Char. I'm glad you're finding happiness at home this weekend. I know I am loving the luxury of just relaxing in comfort here at home today.

    Thank you so much for those prayers. I felt your goodness and am hoping, along with you, that this ice will melt soon but enjoying hot, hearty winter food while it's here.
