Sacred Moments
We inhabit ourselves
without valuing ourselves,
unable to see that
here, now, this very moment is sacred;
but once it's gone - its value is incontestable.
~Joyce Carol Oates

My Idea Of Happiness
A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
~ Leo Tolstoy

Natural Bridge

sight seeing. We visited 6 wineries and a brewery located
around Afton Virginia in Nelson county.
And we couldn't pass up Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County.
I was quite impressed by its size. It is 215 feet high!

Wilderness is a Necessity

A bench along a trail during on of our hikes. There were
many of these benches spread out along the trail...which was QUITE ROCKY.
It is lovely being outside and enjoying nature!
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…

Dragons Don't Scare Me Anymore
Print Available - HERE
As a child I was really scared of dragonflies.
Now I see nothing but beauty! They are such unique creatures!
The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.
