(Cue for a very irreverent song perhaps?) You are so right, Kate, being positive develops resilience, but sometimes it is hard to keep looking on the bright side.

I too often forget that it is still there, and finding it does give me the resiliance and faith I need to make it through a dark time.

And beautiful photos, a charming, enthusiastic canine -- well, that is lagniappe! Freda, I really appreciate a sermon that reminds me of how to exercise my faith better and joyfully.

To be honest I don't get the chance to preach these days - health issues make it difficult. And Friko, actually, I did do both...... forgave myself and enjoyed the rituals of making frothy coffee!

Being positive shouldn't even need mentioning, but it always does; we do tend to fall back into the habit of moaning and complaining (I do, anyway) instead of opening our eyes and seeing the beauties of the world around us. So many of us here in my corner of blogland have such a lot to be grateful for - I know, I know, trite words and platitudes but platitudes are no less true for being platitudes. Ah well, I hope you know what I mean. Both, I should hope.

Not "preachy" at all. And your little Misty is adorable! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll respond as soon as the magical forces in the Internet will allow me to do so. Blogger seems to be in a foul mood today! Well, Freda, if that was a sermon, I know a few ministers who could do with some lessons! Not “preachy” at all. And your little Misty is adorable!
