Lovely Celtic Cross

Beautiful Celtic Cross

Today I was blessed to find this cross. JoAnn has taken to walking in a local cemetery and enjoying the peace and tranquility. She asked me to join her there on her walk, and she took me over to a grassy knoll where this cross has stood since 1934. Two Friars are buried on the knoll, and their friends erected this cross in their memory. Beautiful work on the cement cross, and the circle in the middle includes a 'Christogram' (ihs) which stands for the name of Jesus Christ in Greek. 

Such a beautiful November day, and a beautiful spot and memorial.

Season of Contentment at Home

GRATITUDE

unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.....

It can turn a meal into a 

feast, a house into a home,

a stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense

of our past, brings peace for today,

and creates a vision for tomorrow.

NOVEMBER

is the pearl-grey month,

the changeling between warm, crimson, 

October

and cold, white

December.

The month when the leaves fall

in slow drifting whirls

and the shapes of the trees are revealed.

When the earth imperceptibly wakes

and stretches her bare limbs

and displays her 

stubborn, unconquerable strength

before

she settles uneasily into winter.

November is secret and silent.Alison Uttley
