~♥ Let There Be Light ♥~

One of the first things I do when I get up in the early morning (5 am - I’m an early bird) is to plug in my lights at my kitchen sink.  I find great comfort in the warm glow. My first cup of coffee, lighting a candle, and sitting in silence all bring me comfort as I start my day.

We are all going through difficult and uncertain times right now.  Seeing things on social media or the news can increase our stress and anxiety. That is why I’ve made it my mission to seek out what gives me HOPE, PEACE, and COMFORT.




“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” 
― Tom Bodett

“Learning to distance yourself from all the negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace.” 
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

 “As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”
