some seasonal sights

Things that remain constant are making time to treasure the gifts of nature, delight in the bonuses from continuing to learn, relish in the rewards from being active and cherish the Spirit of this Season no matter what may cross your path in life!  Through it all, the "key to my heart" always opens!  While my eyes were fixing for a few seconds on Christmas Tree decorations, they lingered longer on the decoration I purchased in June at a craft store in Neustift im Stubaital, Austria.  I noticed these German words reflecting in the bauble to the left.  I then took time to reflect!

I finished knitting the "Northern Lights" scarf! 

This was my first time ever knitting a scarf, I am delighted with the outcome.

Time came to begin knitting a third pair of mittens.  

I wanted to learn a new pattern for the cuff.  

More delight to enjoy!

My brother will always be by my side even though he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away nine years ago on December 24th.  I cherish this photo of us at Christmas when we were wee.  He made a difference in this world for many.  He continues to add value to my life in ways unexpected!
