But, if we can just stop for a minute, quiet our minds and open our eyes wide,
We will see that the blue skies of blessings always return.
That we have shelter and a refuge.
(my home)
We will see that there are always beautiful things to help us remember.
(a beautiful rose bush gift from my bookclub friends in remembrance of Chloe)
That our lives are still bountiful and we will continue to grow and ripen
with spirit and sweetness.
(my raspberry bushes)
That breathing the air can smell like perfume and calm the soul.
(my gardenia bush)
That creating comes from the heart and mends it at the same time.
(a peek of my newest pattern, "Fleur de Bunnies")
And that always and forever,
Love is the greatest of all things.
"Life isn't about waiting for the Storms to Pass, It's about learning to Dance in the Rain."
Wishing you a beautiful dance this week.
Shell
This week IGF friends in person and in blog land that helped me through this storm and held my hand for the dance.
Love you all.

I loved your post.

From my collection...unknown author...“In our lives there is bound to come some pain, surely as there are storms and falling rain; just believe that the one who holds the storms will bring the sun.” Love your prose also...I think of you whenever I see the bunnies out in the yard!

Hi Shell! Thank you so much for your kind words about my dog Harley. I'm so sorry to hear you recently lost one of your bunnies. My gosh the chocolate one on this post is gorgeous!!! I've never owned one of those big ones but I'm sure it's just like owning a dog or cat! On a lighter note...I'm so happy you are going to be joining us for the Where Bloggers Create party. It's gong to be a great time! Have a beautiful day.
