Sunday Solace

Hello again! As I write this, there are only 17 days until Christmas Day. Maths was never my strong point, so you might like to double check that! 

 

Pleased to say, that I'm pretty well prepared. Just the turkey to get and the last minute veggies! The deccies are up, the tree decorated, and sparkling fairy lights everywhere. 

My lovely granddaughter is 22 today. Where did all those years go?  Why does time fly by so fast ?! 

Anyway, my feature for this Sunday Solace is called "Slow Dance" ....

"Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,

or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,

or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast.

Time is short, the music won't last. 

Do you run through each day on the fly?

When you ask "how are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,

with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast.

Time is short, the music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,

and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,

Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast.

Time is short, the music won't last. 

When you run so fast to get somewhere,

you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,

it's like an unopened gift, thrown away. 

Life isn't a race, so take it slower,

hear the music before your song is over. 

Yesterday, here in heavenly Devon, we had a glorious, sunny day with clear blue skies, but we had the first frost of the season....

 

 

 

I really can't recommend Verbenas enough for any of you gardeners out there. These have been in flower for over four months, and they are still standing tall after the frost!

 

Thank you for dropping by - see you again soon 💖
