these are the days

this place is where I escape the worries of my heart...




 


be still my soul



 


the "L" monster or mama's cancer

have no room here...




having a few moments to 

chat with Sue about her grandbabies

makes my heart warm 

the simple things matter the most...

 

just a simple smile from a customer

or another dealer

makes everything seem better...


 

knowing I belong...

knowing I have a place...

knowing it was meant for me...




loving every moment

every minute

every second... 


 


till we meet again



 

please forgive any absence I have on your blogs

mom & I are in the hills and valleys

thank you so very much for all of the love,

prayers and well wishes

xo

I'm linking up to the lovely Kathleen's

White Wednesday



Happy White Wednesday!!!

    oh Kate, I am sending you big hugs for you and your mama. You have been on my mind and I just finished your crown yesterday.
    I saw the sadness in your eyes when asking about your mother. My heartaches for you.
    You are so strong girl but it is natural to want to escape from it all, with the weight of it all on your shoulders. It must feel so good to be able to escape to a place so lovely as CRs.
    Please know that you can email me anytime or text me when you feel the need to talk.
    Take care sweetie and give your mama hugs from me.

    Yup still loving those pillows! When are you going back to CR? I want to come and shop (well, more likely window shop), and you could meet Rilee. You will love her :) Either that or you will have to come by the house sometime soon.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs!! xoxo

    I can think of no one better to provide a soft place to land and voices to soothe that Sue and her CR family. God has placed you in a special place with special people to help during your difficult times. My prayers are with you and your mother.

    Hi Kate,

    My heart reaches out to you from afar. I'm happy you have Country Roads to relieve your stress and escape your worries. It's a positive diversion.

    Your space looks wonderful! You have such a good eye and always make sure every little thing screams KATE! You have great style and impeccable taste!

    Dear Kate, our Prayers are with you and your Mom, I'm so glad you have your special Sanctuary Place to rest and restore your Soul. We each need those places in our lives to restore our Calm, our Peace and get back to Center when Life seems to be pulling us every which way. Having been in the Valley recently myself I can attest to how very important it is to have the escapes we need... I've found The Land of Blog to be such a place virtually, which was an unexpected surprise.

    Blessings and Healing Energy sent your way from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
