"Joy" is Where You Find it! by Weezilou

"Joy" is Where You Find it!

After a fall of increasingly boring backyard photos, I armed myself with a new-to-me Pinterest hack and went out practicing. Thankfully some in our division are in the Christmas Spirit, so I came home with fresh choices!

Ken and I have remained well, but our immediate neighbors had Covid, as did the neighbor next to them. Across the street, a parent of each of two neighbors has died (this is ALL in the last week!), so we'll stay indoors and enjoy one another's company on Christmas Day...maybe see if we can join the grandkids around their trees via Facetime.

Sending Christmas and Holiday Blessings to all of you! I'll continue to be absent a while longer, but wishing you good Health, and, for us all, a Greatly Improved 2021!
So sorry to hear about your neighbors. Our prayers go out to each family. Beautiful sentiment for this time of year

Absolutely! Louise, glad to hear you and Ken are well. So sad about your neighbors. Seems to virus is running rampant right now. Thankfully 2021 is almost here and the vaccine is on the way. Have a safe holiday.

COVID has been tragic for some families. Glad you’re both managing to keep well. Lots of zoom and FaceTime christmases will be happening this year.

A lovely image. Happy holidays to you and glad you are well!

@nickspicsnz Thanks for being reassuring about the latter; it will be an interesting *new* experience!
@amyk Thanks for dropping by, Amy. Nice to see so many old friends here!
@redy4et All reassuring words from you, Elizabeth! Thanks for that, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@lyndemc Thanks for the smile! Behind masks, we see too few of them these days! Merry Christmas!
@sailingmusic Thanks for that! Yes, I was trying for "upbeat" and I always find it here among my friends!
@danette ...so did I cover that, and you're going to share something soon? It's just fun!!! Let me know; I'm still not going to hang around all the time for a while!
@ethelperry Oh Ethel, there's a sweetness around when you come by! Your words are so very true...never underestimate a day
in the company of my Ken...it's going to be perfect! "Different" does not have to be "awful" and so we're quite positive about the day and we'll make our own fun! Merry Christmas to you, sweet gal!
@joansmor Merry Christmas to you and Two, too!

Oh hello Louise! Happy holidays to you both. Stay safe, and we hope to see more of you in 2021!

Pleasing to read that you and Ken are being very careful and responsible re this dreaded virus. And my sympathy for your neighbours being struck down with this virus. I'm sure you and Ken will find a special way to celebrate Christmas home alone. Cheers for a much better year to come :)
December 21st, 2020  
Beautifully done--Happy Holidays to you both!!
December 21st, 2020  
This is beautiful Louise!! Lovely to see you posting and this one is special!! Love the effect!! I realise I have missed some of your last uploads - maybe because you are working when I am asleep and I haven't been going through all the images in my news feed? Great to talk with you last evening - always love catching up!! It is going to be a different Christmas this year but as long as you take care and stay safe all will be ok. Sad news about your neighbours - so scary how close it is to us all!! Big hugs to you both xxx
December 21st, 2020  
I'm glad you are both well Louise. Stay safe and have a lovely Christmas.

Wonderful.

Wishing you and Ken a happy Christmas. Loved the card that came through my door - what a big smile of creativity that was! Lots of love from us to you.
December 24th, 2020  
merry Christmas, my lady. i hope you and ken have a wonderful day today despite the situation we're in. i miss you.

So food to find a familiar face still here after so many years away. 2020 couldn’t go away fast enough. My daughter abandoned son in law, who live with us, both had Covid — 9 months apart. By Gods grace, Don and I didn’t get it. Looking forward to seeing your pics this year.

Wishing you and Ken a healthy and safe 2021. Missed seeing your beautiful Lunenberg summer photos but probably not as much as you did not being able to travel there. Hopefully with the vaccine rolling out, we will be able to return to travel in 2021. Sad to hear of your neighbours but that unfortunately is the reality of this virus. My 97 year old father in law contracted it in his nursing residence in the first phase and amazingly survived it. Please stay safe and hope to see you posting again soon. I have decided to rejoin and reconnect to all those who made photography fun.
January 3rd, 2021  
Darn I missed this when you posted. I've been thinking of you a lot the past couple of months and hope you continue to just stay safe. Can't wait for you to come back when the time is right. now that will bring me JOY!

January 10th, 2021  
Oh, Louise! I am so sorry to hear about the loss and the sickness of your neighbors. I hope you were able to have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Please keep yourself safe! (I sent you an email and card/letter.)
