Work for a Cause~Not for Applause

Work for a Cause
Not for Applause
Live life to Express
Not to Impress
Don’t strive to make
Your presence noticed
Just to make
Your absence Felt

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. Is. 40:31

Some days it is all I can do to get up and prepare for another day. I’ll admit I haven’t been well and today I needed a little help from friends. If you haven’t checked out Lionel’s wonderful blog I wish you would. He also takes prayer requests so I love that as well. I like to get up early and place my order quickly and often! 😀

Snow anTell~last week we bloomed this week we Snow and go
The cycle of life to me is amazing and sad at the same time. Last weekend elated for the late blooms, this weekend watching as snow covered they wave goodbye till Spring. I stood there in the snow and all and listened to the snow/ice gently peck the green leaves and I wondered should I have pruned early? NO and miss this moment…I think not!
Snow anTell

 

P.S. The significance to Snow anTell is because Antell is my family name. When I was young my nickname was Micki SnowanTell, sometimes it was Micki ShowanTell, which used to bother me  that is why I dropped my nick name and went by my given name MichelleMarie.  It sure made me mindful when we named my Alexanderia Danielle. 

Say it isn’t Snow (❛‿❛✿̶̥̥) Yes it is (❛‿❛✿̶̥̥) I’m excited

I think me and Angel [my dog] are the only ones excited about snow! This means the snakes are hibernating and it is safe for me to go back to the pond. Last year I ran head on with a rattlesnake, let’s just say he is no more. To me it’s not worth the snake bite just to explore my surroundings. I’m getting smarter in my old age! 😀

This is my bird bath out front. I use it like my snow gauge. If my bird bath is overflowing with snow I know it snowed a lot but as you can see just piddly snow for now! I changed it to b/w so you could see the fine little snow that is blowing around.

Switched to Nikon @6:45 to get this PINK

I am always amazed at how differently each camera captures the sunrise! This one is from my Nikon 3200. It not a fancy professional camera. When my Pa passed he left me all his photos and also enough money to buy this camera. I love it. Took me forever to learn how to use it. My other camera is a Nikon Coolpix it captures the best moon shots and also the sunsets it seems to captures the reds better then any one them. Of course you know I’m not a professional photographer and never claim to be but what I am is someone who thinks that too often in life we miss the little things and before I die I want to leave something for my girl and those that love me so that they know the things in life I find beautiful. My Pa did that for me he left me all his writings, pics and cameras and I know who he is by reading his words and writing them on my heart and looking at his trunk full of photos! Gosh to me life doesn’t get any better then this moment right here! I’m so happy, healed and whole I want to slap someone! Yay! Yippee!

Oh btw I wanted to tell you yesterday that YOU here at WP had a huge part in that healing. Reading my writing and all this crazy art that comes out of my head. With each share, each comment I got IT out all of it that good, bad and the ugly and WOW! I can’t explain to you how grateful I am for your friendship. Hope you have a super day! TGIF
