Colour my World

Hello my friends!

Well I have to tell you that for about the last 2 weeks,

my world (at least in my computer monitor world)

was pretty bleak and without much colour

:(

I even had my son come on remote assistance

and try to look into my computer to see what the problem was.

He said that he couldnt find anything wrong with my actual computer.

I had a tint to my computer photos (Lime and purple)

and

I was so sad to look at

supposed-to-be pinks that were showing up as purple,

and no reds.

My computer is pretty new so I wasnt sure what the problem was...

either...my hubby accidentally touched something when he moved my monitor from one desk to another..

or....my monitor was acting up.

:(

Well yesterday I was out running an errand

and while I was in "Staples" to fax something,

a gentleman approached me while I was checking out the monitors.

He was extremely helpful

and gave me a few suggestions.

One of his suggestions was to look behind my monitor and check the two cords

which I did as soon as I returned home...

Guess what?!

I have colour again!!!

Beautiful, vibrant colour again!!

(My cords must have been a bit loose, because when I re-adjusted them......colour returned to me! :):):):):))

My pinks are pink again

and no longer purple!!!

Perfectly pink again!

Oh how I missed you!

Vibrant reds..

I missed you too!

Not until I lost you, did I realize how important you were!

I'll bet you never even noticed anything different..

your monitors were fine!

I was looking through my not-so-rose-coloured glasses (computer monitor)

and was longing for my colours to come back again!

I'm celebrating colour !!!!

:)

By the way..that adorable card is from The Lovely Anita

Vibrantly yours,

Is it time already?

Hmmmm....

I'm thinking...Christmas shopping?

:)

Happy day to you!!

Gentle November Moments

 

Why not take some moments this month

just to relax a while,

grab one of your favourite magazines

and a hot cuppa hot chocolate

and curl up in a cozy spot

 

Take some quiet time for yourself

and go for a leisurely walk.

Bring a furry friend along and make his or her day,

and while you're at it,

smell the fragrances of autumn 

and let gratefulness surface

for all the wonders in nature all around us

 

Find a place of solitude for Him and you..

and listen..

He will whisper,

and your heart will sense "home" again

 

Give the gift of your time

to the people that He lays upon your heart..

there will be a double-blessing

Before days end,

tell someone you love them,

better still,

wrap your arms and heart around them

and blanket them with

your love for them.

Linger long in the embrace.

 

All my love,

Deborah xoxo 

 

 

 

 

Quiet Glimpses of Cottage-Time

 

This past weekend at the cottage

with my brother

~

Times of intimate sharing

 

Enjoying the sunshine

(all weekend it shone on us) 

:)

 

Snuggling on well-worn couches

 

Gazing into clear waters

 

Baking home-made cinnamon rolls

and yes,  eating too many of them

 

Feasting on crusty-bread made into grilled tomato and cheese snadwiches

and red pepper soup,

cups of hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks,

barbequed ribs, mashed potatoes and baked squash,

bacon and eggs..

mmmmm goodness! 

 

 Looking down-ward to an inviting dock

at waters edge 

 

Beauty in normally

un-noticed  places

Extravagant beauty at days' end

 

The love & friendship of my precious brother..

a weekend filled with warm hugs, laughter & smiles

I love you so much David

All my love,

Deborah
