Snowstorm

December 17, 2013 by Barb 17 Comments

Our world outside is grey and brown (and white). It’s no wonder that inside we light candles and put twinkly lights on trees.

Shed-in-Winter

I was watching the news last night and contemplating how parts of the world are in so much turmoil, and how so many people are in desperate situations – and I mean desperate… there seems to be no hope…  it’s hard to comprehend.

I know, I’m being a downer and I’ll stop right here.

I just feel so grateful that my world is simply cold and grey and silent. I am warm, and well-fed, and safe… and so is my family.

Have a grateful Tuesday!

    still a gorgeous scene. and you are right – no matter how sad our situation is at the moment, we have so much to be grateful for when others have nothing.

    What a beautiful, snowy scene! You’re so right, Barb. We tend to take our good fortune for granted, don’t we?

    Your winter image is superb! I am thankful every single day for the comforts I enjoy. Although my life isn’t stress-free, it could be worse. I do feel for those going through desperate situations. :(

    The winter storm is very pretty as the snow is falling. One of your fabulous wreaths would look pretty over the shed door! Thankful!

    Amen to the part about being warm, well fed, and the feeling of security and safety. We are fortunate indeed. Love the picture as it captures the words you shared of grey, brown, and white. Happy Tuesday. :)

    lovely image! We quit watching the news a couple years ago. That helps a lot. Don’t get me wrong, hubby keeps up with the political stuff that one should. (I just let him, someone needs to care.)

    Beautiful shot Barb, and yes, it is totally amazing how much we have to be grateful for. I often feel really guilty and humbled when I see the news and think of all of the terrible poverty and suffering in this world. So fortunate we are! Blessings to you
