Love. Joy. Peace. Integrity. Kindness. Love. Joy. Peace. Integrity. Kindness. With each step I kept repeating these words. Love. Joy. Peace. Integrity. Kindness.

Isn’t this picture cool? I took it the other day and I just love it. I adore how the shadows of the beams from the fence kept the snow on the ground. As soon as I saw this on my walk with the dawgy I had a whirl wind of words come through me. Thank golly [...]
