Sometimes we all need to be surrounded...

...with the people and the possessions and the pleasures that make us happy!

Playing games on new toys (Nintendo DS Lite) and writing secrets on fresh paper...

Playing games for no other reason than the sheer pleasure of doing so... making memories that will shape our very futures.

Taking time to enjoy being in the presence of our loved ones... our very special ones...

Laughing as they make their silly faces!

Savouring simple pleasures like dark chocolate gingers and a pot of freshly brewed tea...

...or creating a "still life" of our favourite things in our favourite restaurants...

...as we celebrate the gift of life that the Creator has given!

Soak in every moment. Capture them... Cherish them... Do what Mary did and ponder them in your heart. When the dark days come... we only have 2 things - the love of our Saviour and our memories.
