People often approach me and ask what I am picking up, upon showing them they ask what for? I tell them for peace, just simply peace!

I know your beaches well though, as I grew up in Santa Monica...I have a hard time being calm when things get bad... Just being with my family helps me find my center. My art that is so much a part of me gets left aside and that can make me sad. But bad times get better... You have gorgeous colors here! thank you for all your comments!

I'm a complete extrovert, so I say how I feel most of the time, which usually helps...except in recent times. Life has become so darn hard.<BR/><BR/>I love your sea glass. The beach is my favorite place in the world. I would live there if I could, for sure.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073494749323285769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-91826186791657725332009-01-31T06:09:00.000-08:002009-01-31T06:09:00.000-08:00First of all I loved the post!

When you are going through things it is really easy to start feeling like you have got it worse than anyone. When you go out and start finding people that are really having hard times ie: loosing their home, infant just passed away, etc. This makes me take the focus off of me and turn it on to someone else. Once I start helping somebody else then it brings healing to me.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/><BR/>Crystalsparkled*lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564774470642453250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-34187742257703102382009-01-29T20:14:00.000-08:002009-01-29T20:14:00.000-08:00We really turn into our family and lean on each ot...We really turn into our family and lean on each other and our faith.<BR/>You have such a wonderful writing style.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480046958714954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-89352438575805282732009-01-29T16:59:00.000-08:002009-01-29T16:59:00.000-08:00Your sea glass collection is fabulous!

Then I will bring it home, place it in a pretty glass dish that was my mom's and sift through it with my hands, picking each piece up one by one and examine it as I examine the memories in my heart. I already have a place picked out on the table next to my bed. My favorite colors are shades of blue so I hope to be able to find blue seaglass. When things are bad as they often are lately, I go into my mind and wander the beach for sea glass.Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184900184545881232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-27289483305594866782009-01-29T03:55:00.000-08:002009-01-29T03:55:00.000-08:00When things are too rough first i vent...

I have a place that I can write my thoughts all of them no censure... once that is done I have several outlets for my energies, first I clean obsessivly as if cleaning will remove the pain the anger the hurts. Then I read or drive and on really weird days I shop. while doing all of the above I pray.<BR/>soon something new comes into life and things change ... sometimes the changes are very dramatic others they are very subtle and happen before I realise it.<BR/>* things are very clean around here right now, and retail therapy yesterday was expensive but nothing friviolous just necessities :)<BR/>love n hugsLaura ~Peach~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06436851234824883774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-25906271312122624172009-01-28T21:27:00.000-08:002009-01-28T21:27:00.000-08:00Gratitude. When my mom went to heaven 2 years ago...Gratitude. When my mom went to heaven 2 years ago I filled my heart with gratitude to the Lord for all the good times we had together. The more thankful I was the less the hurt. The hardest part was having to dispose of her stuff...things I just didn't have room to keep. She had lived a long good life and was ready to go home but she and I were really close and I so missed talking to her each day. When I started my blog I did a post about her and decided that night that my blogging would be my little talk with her each day! She was such an encourager and I feel like she has passed that on to me and this blogging/comment thing is a great avenue to touch lives with encouragement. I have met some wonderful people in the few weeks I've been doing this. And have had the best time! As all three of my kids graduated and left home...I basicly had to do the same thing. Be gratful for the time I had with them and then focus on what the future was unfolding. (College, marriage, babies.) When I find myself living too much in the past I find I miss out on the blessings God has planned for me that day! Not only the ones I'm to receive but the ones I'm supposed to give away! And I don't want to miss any of the blessings ..either kind! We are blessed to be a blessing! Give your life away by being a blessing to someone today. You have such a beautiful way with words...just by leaving comments for other blogs can bless others. You really blessed me with your comment about the Sandman post! I am so so sorry about your brother. A life cut short by a terrible accident is terrible. Please don't think that God did it. (A lot of people think that way. I was one of them until I got the truth.) Any way...I'm praying God's peace and comfort for you and your precious family and that as you draw close to Him you will find His everlasting love, mercy and grace. And as you delight your self in Him ...He will put new dreams in your hearts and then make them come to pass. (It sounds like that's already happening with the beach house and beach glass! Who knows He may have you start making things for others with the glass!)<BR/>Bless you dear one...sorry this got so long.<BR/>Pattidelighted hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195050794743029949noreply@blogger.com
