Magnificent, Karen. Yes, maybe that is why I long to have quiet moments, because the rush, the stress, the anxiety of daily work can drown out the call of God in my heart. Thank you for this beautiful blessing for a new year; your photos are calming and marvelous. Maybe that is one of winter's many functions: to keep us still and listen to the silence inside of us. God bless you dearest friend. Anita

It has been an honor to have you as a blogger friend; you have taught me so much in your generosity, committment to God, and to your art. I will forever cherish the lavender field watercolor and that gorgeous Eiffel Tower card. Blessings to you, Anita

Dear Karen and Family, what a beautiful sentiment and post. This is my sentiment for you.

Each moment in a day has its own value.
Morning brings HOPE,
Afternoon brings FAITH,
Evening brings LOVE,
Night brings REST,
Hope you will have all of them everyday.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010.

Love, Jeanne
