WONDER FILLED WEDNESDAY ! 14.1.15

source

*

We're to have a day's break in the -30 C weather we've been having.

Can.Not.Wait.

Hoping to head out to pick up my library reserves being held,

[for the next reading reprieve]

and to re-stock my tea supply !

Gratitude makes the perfect response in the midst of things out of control

[and whatever weather you're having!]

Have a WONDER-FILLED day !

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 

It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, 
confusion to clarity.
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.”
~ Melodie Beattie

Invitation to Photography: Landscape and Formation

Welcome to Christine Valters Paintner' s  Abbey Photo Party!

She selects a theme and invites us to respond with images.

"I have been pondering a great deal lately the ways the landscapes I have lived in shape my soul (this week's love note from me will develop this theme).  My invitation to you is to ponder this for yourself: What is the impact of my physical landscape on my spiritual one?  How might I express this through a photo or image?

You can share images you already have which illuminate the theme, but I encourage you also to go for a walk with the theme in mind and see what you discover.

You are also welcome to post photos of any other art you create inspired by the theme.  See what stirs your imagination!"

How to participate:

1. Go to the Flickr Group created. You need a free Flickr account first (go to the Flickr home page and click "Sign up now.")  When you go to the link it will ask you to join the group first before posting.  Share up to five of your images in response to the theme.

2. Leave a comment below Christine's blog post to let her know you have joined the party and what your Flickr profile name is (you must include this to be entered into the prize drawing).

3. Please post the invitation on your own blog or Facebook page, tweet and encourage others to come join the party!

On Friday, April 26th – Christine will draw a name at random from those who participate and the winner will receive a space in her upcoming online class:
Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Contemplative Practice (April 28-June 15, 2013).

21 Days of Wonder: 'Sunset' #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK

Day 15 from Margaret:

God’s creation invites us to open our eyes to ten thousand wonders. [Tweet this]
Take time to watch the sunset and admire God’s handiwork.
Consider setting an alarm so you don’t miss it, and invite a friend.
You can check online to find out what time the sun will dip below the horizon where you live.
Depending on your location, you may want to travel to a hill
or tall building nearby to catch a better view.

Observe the sky and the shape of the clouds.
Watch how the light shifts and changes ever so slowly.
Look for colors and hues, even if it’s a cloudy day.
Spend a few moments thanking God for his wondrous goodness and gifts
which he shares with all of humanity day in and day out.
Share the beauty you see by snapping a photo of the sunset.

Here's where I  #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK at Pinterest
