Fragile
Hello 2016.
I would love to begin a 365 project again, counting gifts and finding God in the everyday. I do this because I do not want to rush through the one life he has given me. I want to relish every moment.
Life is fragile, it is true. Yes, but in its vulnerability and brokenness there is much beauty. So much.
Let us handle life with tender cupped hands, looking and listening for him in all he has made. He is here with us.
I miss my mama so much. Losing her in October was a grief I did not expect and still have not grasped. I am doing my best to move forward with my Heavenly Father. Both of my parents now dance in his presence and this brings me peace in my darkest moments.
So here is to tenderness- to fragility. Let us open our hearts so that we may receive him this year, day by day.
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”

I miss my sweet friend Ann so much. I think about her every day. I’ve never known a woman so open and loving and creative and passionate

Hey, I love the first pic of 2016. You should join us at https://tookapic.com – it’s a great site to run your 365 project. There is an awesome, friendly and supportive community of amateur photographers focused around the idea of daily photo taking. We’d love to have you on board.
My own parents now both, in your own words, Maryanne, dance in His presence, and I know are happier than they have ever been, as life was never easy for them. I hope your grief grows softer and sweeter as time goes by and that the memories become treasures never to be lost. God bless and keep you this coming year.
Thank you Mary. I hope the same for you.
Such tender beauty here, Maryanne. I know this grief. I don’t think we ever stop missing our mamas, but in time the grief becomes less intense and the sure hope of Heaven becomes even more attractive and precious. Sending love and prayers for you friend. There is never a bad season for the 365 project, but there couldn’t be a more perfect one than this one. xox
Thank you Patricia. Blessings to you.
