Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

A Time for Everything

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. A time to give birth, and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun from embracing. A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away. A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together, A time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for PEACE.
Take some time today to thank God for all your blessings and then take some time to enjoy them. May you all have a blessed Sunday.

Now that's excellent advice...count your blessings and take time to enjoy them. I haven't heard it put quite that way before. You have a wonderful day, too!

Thanks for the wise words, I`ll remember to be thankful today.

Yes I bought the rug at Ikea (I think I bought 5 of them because the prize was very low)and the flower pot is also from Ikea.
I love Ikea.
Wish you a wonderful new week.
