I spent the day shredding old documents and throwing out an amazing accumulation of stuff....
...geez...I'm such a saver...even at the office!
These silvery photos are from my "archives"...
...actually from earlier posts.
My life is in transition! One door is closing...
...I just know that other doors and windows are waiting to be opened!
...that's the silver lining!...
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember some where the sun is shining,
And so the right thing to do,
Is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness,
Will always banish sadness and strife.
So always look for the silver lining,
And try to find the sunny side of life.
Saying goodbye to so many coworkers and friends was difficult yesterday but we all made it through! Thank you for your kind words and support. My heart is filled with gratitude for my many blessings!
...and for all of my blogging friends too!
For more participants in Silver Sunday visit Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal
Hoping to have some fresh pictures for you tomorrow!

Very pretty silver!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your successful career! I know it must have been a day full of emotion. I look forward to hearing and seeing what your new life brings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting The Silver Lining. Since my husband's recent diagnosis with ALS, that is exactly what we have been doing....looking for the silver lining and the sunny side of life. It's the best medicine :-)

Love the silver! I am glad you are dealing well with your changes. I do hope you keep up with your old work friends. I really like that I can on the internet. Some say it is impersonal but I really do love that I keep up so many people still!

Beautiful post...good luck with the changes. You have a great eye with the camera!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Especially those pocket watches!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see whick window you will fly through, but I know you will land safely and make the room even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLaura, all will be fine. The transition will probably take some time. This is a great time to just let yourself "be" and take care of yourself. Best wishes are sent your way,

ReplyDeleteGray days, still waiting for the sun to come out, but dry enough to weed and plant. Winter is such a metaphor for life. Keep calm and carry on! Amazing how much beauty you can still pull out for us today. Thank you! Trish

ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about a silver lining. It's been a rather stressful time for me lately, but I, too, am looking forward to new beginnings! Here's to us on our journeys.

What beautiful pictures! Good luck with the new chapter in your life. Thanks for sharing ~ Theresa
ReplyDeleteAh, more religious medals for me to drool over.....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you keep sharing!
Can't wait to hear what door is opening for you next...........
I thought of you this weekend as there was lots of beautiful silver at the brocante and a number of gorgeous objects that I was strong and never took home with me... made the transition to calligraphy. If I can't write on it - I can't take it home (boo hooo...) Lucky I found a few things I could write on. Love your collections Laura. You seem really melancholy so I hope you are ok. Transitions are definitely difficult... have to go through them to get to the joy at the other end. Blessings and prayers with silver linings
