Happy New Year ... from Chicago!

While it's been WAY to long ... I wanted to share a few photos with you all ... my husband and I, and a few friends celebrated the New Year in Chicago. I can't tell you how awesome it was! More writing to come ... but for now, please enjoy the photos! God Bless!

A Cloud Filled Moment

I wrote another poem the other day ... I suppose you could say I've 'picked' up the 'poetry pen' again ... it's just a few lines of my inner thoughts ... sometimes, I just have to get them OUT of my head ... enjoy and thank you for reading!

Picking apart their consistency, I wonder what they’re made of …

As they travel through the sky, with no destination thought out …

Large, small, medium, irregular, solid, translucent … no two are the same …

They’re perhaps like you and I …

Made of the same consistency, but no two are alike … Beautiful, unshaped, awkward; always 'works in progress' …

Recent Photos ...

Here are a few recent photos I took ... the first is on a storm-filled night ... the sky was amazingly beautiful, and vast ... it was rather breathtaking ... the next is from a small park near downtown South Bend. The geese there are plentiful, and rather amusing from time-to-time. I snapped this while a grandma, it looks like, and her two grandkids were admiring the beautiful creatures ... the third is a little abstract ... through a park bench in downtown South Bend, near the College Football Hall of Fame ... sometimes, the most awkward of photos can make the most presentable ... ENJOY!

In the Backyard ...

Here are a couple more photos for you! These were taken in my sister Melissa's backyard! It's rather beautiful what you can capture! Enjoy! (P.S. Thank you for all the wonderful comments and for continuing to visit my blog! It means so much! God Bless you all!)

Beauty...

Here is another poem for all you poetry lovers out there!
Let me know what you think!

Beauty comes from within...
...like a rare jewel, it stays forever...
Intact and unique...
...Only the beauty of the soul is what matters...
The outward reality is nothing to be troubled about...
...Like the rare jewel, it's what is on the inside that remains forever...
Is your soul like a rare jewel?
Is your reality your very utter ness of mortality?
Take your beauty, dream it through...
...Re-visit mortality and unlock your reality...
Unleash your beauty and like a jewel...
Let it remain forever...
