I have a blog friend Named Starry. And she sent me some poems she wrote and I thought I would share one with you. You can check out her blog called Thanks for the Gift of Life.
I like this one the best because "Flowers are the poetry of earth". Unknown
and "Nature is the art of God." Dante
I am going to go on vacation this week from blogging and I will be back next week. With a new look and new ideas and maybe a new name. I am doing a lot of thinking this week.
In the meantime think on the good things He gave us - I'll be doing that too. Any ways you care to share about how He shows His love to us? For example I just thought of colors - don't colors make life wonderful???
Sandie
Have a nice break and can't wait to see your new look! And a new name?
ReplyDeleteThat last quote about choices is one I wish my oldest would read and take to heart.
We were talking just last week as we enjoyed the Arboretum about the uniqueness and the thought and detail God put into each and every flower and plant. So exquisite.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week. Looking forward to seeing your new look. You are so creative!
Yes colours, I agree.
ReplyDeleteHave a good blogging break but come back soon, we'll all miss you.
enjoy your vacation stay at home and good luck with ideas and the new whatever you want to do. and flowers do make us feel happy for sure.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and poetry. Heading over now for a visit and.... can't wait to see your new blog look.
Your flower picture is so pretty, Sandie. We woke up to snow on our daffodils! What a surprise! We get the day off. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break.♥
We all need a break now and then, and I hope yours is just what you need. God is good in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break. I wish I was going with you - I need a break :)

That's what I do every last week of the month. Need to recharge those blogging batteries. Have a good one! :)
ReplyDeleteWE WILL MISS YOU, Relax and enjoy yourself. Be careful about that thinking, I have found it can be dangerous.LOL
ReplyDeleteMethinks Audrey had it right!
(((HUGS))) from here!!!~
Love the pretty flowers!! We are waiting on spring and just cant wait. One thing about the winters here in IL, when spring gets here, you really really appreciate it. Have fun and cant wait to see your new look.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Flowers are the postry of the earth...beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and come back all refreshed ready to give us wisdom and much laughter...
ReplyDeleteenjoy your break. and if you need a fresh start, then i hope inspiration comes to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much for those inspiring words from Audrey Hepburn. She is one of my very favorite actresses!
ReplyDeleteI think nature has a way of saying it's beautiful poetry in most any season. I can see natures poetry in the many arts that people produce too....like quilting, spinning, needleworks and paintwork. I can imagine those beautiful flowers you pictured...translated into art!
We will miss you...but, be here waiting for you when you get back! I'm excited for your surprises. =)
hugZ,
annie
Spring is my favorite season of all. My absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and we'll see you next week. :)
Beautiful poem. I'm semi-gone too from blogging, just photos with comments. I'm looking forward to whatever your new look and name will be.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with the last quote. Enjoy you break!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the big reveal, have a great vacation.
ReplyDeleteHaving trouble connecting with the email address you gave. If you wish to email me my address can be found on the Review Policy page on my blog.
Oh enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy poem! We are showered with so many blessings every single day!! Enjoy yours,
ReplyDeleteJulie
I love Audrey's quote. She was smart as well as beautiful. Enjoy your spring break! Wish you lived closer, we could go to some flea markets/antique shops.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break! I'm ready for a makeover also I think! It must be Spring!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
So pretty...and yes, they do make me happy! Enjoy your week off from blogging. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Audrey Hepburn quote about PINK.....love it, love it. Your blog is looking pretty in pink!
ReplyDeleteHappy day and HAPPY Spring!
Have a wonderful week....enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove, Debby
Enjoy your break! I am reminded of His love with every breath I take because He is the breath of life!
ReplyDeleteI just found you, but hope you enjoy your break! I'll look forward to reading you again next week!
ReplyDeleteOne of the wonderful ways that God shows me His love is through the love of other people. And, of course, through one particular little beagle...
ReplyDeleteMiss you this week - but will eagerly await the new things you'll be bringing back to Blog Land!
GOD BLESS!
It's supposed to be 90 here today. I'm happy spring is coming, but the heat... not so much.
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation! Wish I was going someplace, other than crazy.
WHY??? What has brought on the need to change? What is going on? Two ways He shows His love to us...Mercy and Grace.
ReplyDeleteHave a restful time away- and filled with peace and happiness.
ReplyDeletelove

Enjoy your break dear friend! I am looking forward to seeing lots of blooms around my yard! BIG HUGS!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh, soooo pretty! Love the springy look of your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are taking a break! Good for you, Sandie. Will you still write to me?
I'll miss you but I'm happy for you to take some "me" time.
Take care and have fun.
As for one way God shows us He's there is through blog friends. So many make me feel such happiness. Susan

My goodness Sandie! A whole new springy look here for you and us. Fun! I love the quotes you always have. They say so much of each of us. Some days I think, "oh that was just for me" and other times I can tell it so You saying what is in your heart. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteHappy vacationing from blogging.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote of Choices.
Sandie,

ReplyDeleteenjoy this week!
betty
I love your header. I don't remember reading it before. So I don't know if you added or changed it or if I missed it the first time...I agree happy people are beautiful:0)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your insight! The last words are so true about making different chooses If you're not liking your life:0) Sometimes it's easy to forget that we make our own happiness with God's guidance of course. Enjoy your break.
I hope you are having a relaxing vacation from blogging. I know I sure needed the break last week. You're turn, is only fair. I could not agree more about color in our lives. I am wanting desperately to see the color of green grass and many shades of tulips. TX Bluebonnets would sure be a treat too., lilacs,...roses,lalalalalalalalalala
ReplyDeleteBlessYourWeek
will chat when you get back
Have a wonderful fun and safe vacation Sandie. Spring Cleaning is always rewarding and good for the soul! I look forward to the New and Improved you!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHope your week way from blogging leaves you feeling refreshed
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week! You know, as I was reading this, I realized that what I never do is take a preplanned, intentional blog break. I always just sort of get too busy or distracted and disappear. Then, I spend the whole time stressing over the fact that I'm not "blogging like I'm supposed to be."
ReplyDeleteIf I would just plan and announce a break and use that time to intentionally REGROUP, I would come back rested and ready.
I like that you do that.
But... a new name? OK, but a rose by any other name will smell as sweet.
Have a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure spring is coming??? I am finding it very hard to believe. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a super week!
xo Catherine
I know you will figure it out. :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide to do we will be here. :)
I love tulips! My mom told me that on her way home from the hospital after having me that all the flowers were in bloom. :)
sandie,have fun and see you when you return.be safe,be blessed.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers! Cannot wait for Spring. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break!
yes..sometimes when I take the moment to see Gods creation I am awed...how could we doubt?!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great break!!
I hope your week will be good for you. You'll come back really fresh.
ReplyDeleteWe all will be checking for your new blog ideas.
..
Oh I love poetry! I must visit your friend! You are are a cutie! Love my visits here!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great time on your break. I'll be anxious to see all your new changes.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the new Chatty Chone!!!
ReplyDeleteSpring really is coming and I can't wait! I like the quote. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem! I'm with you about seeing God's love for us in flowers, wildlife and such. I am so enjoying watching the eagle parents with their new babies! I can't get enough of them!
ReplyDeleteA new look and a new name! Wow! I can't wait to see what you do!
Hugs,
Angela
Hey where are you? You okay?
ReplyDeleteNow I know where Spring is...it is on your blog. :)
ReplyDeletehey Sandie, You are so nice to me. I hope you are enjoying your vacation and such. It was nice to see you make a fun and flattering comment. Thank you, girlfriend!!!!
ReplyDelete(hug) Renae
Love hyacinths! They smell so good.
ReplyDeleteI also like your quote.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Oh Sandie... I love your wonderful attitude!!
ReplyDeleteLove Hyacinths, mine bloomed in the snow that fell last week. Pretty hardy flowers.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what your changes are.
betsy
...making better choices. Each and every day we all should strive with that concept.
ReplyDeleteThe hyacinth photo is outstanding.
Did you know your header colors of turquoise is my absolute favorite color? It reminds me of the sea, the jewel and warmth.
ReplyDeleteBlessYa
I'm so late in reading this that you must be back by now. Any changes to your blog? Let me know if you start a new one. XO
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your return. I hope you don't change the name, I love Chatty Crone. It was the unusual name that persuaded me to first look at your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou're taking a break??? I was looking for your weekly Friday post.
ReplyDeleteThere's beauty in some simple things. One thing that fascinates me is the beauty and detail in some of the spider webs I sometimes see in our yard. They'll go from branch to branch...huge ones. Of course, I don't find much beauty in the spider, but without him there wouldn't be the pretty webs. We take some of these things for granted, but they're actually pretty amazing. Thanks God!
Ok it's been 5 days were all missing you so come back ! Lol hope your well and happy
ReplyDeletehave a good break, we will see you upon your return, take care,
ReplyDeleteI don't remember if I told you--- love your blue header!
ReplyDeleteThe blue header is so cute and the flowers are beautiful. Wishes for a sweet Sunday and a great spring week!
ReplyDeleteboy if that saying isn't meant for the daughter....I should send it to her but she would have a fit....from one bad guy to another....why don't our kids ever listen to us!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, we must think alike!
ReplyDeleteI am just reading your post today and it is along the same lines of my last post. We must be sisters under the skin!
Hope you have a nice break.
Take care.
Hope you're having a good break :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post I really liked the last quote, I have always said that choices can make or break you....Debb
