SILLY GOOSE - Goosey Goosey Gander Whither shall I wander? Upstairs and downstairs, And in my lady’s chamber.

SANTORINI - Santorini is the most spectacular island in Greece and one of the geologic treasures of Europe. The five villages of Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Akrotiri sit atop the caldera and offer spectacular views into the crater created from a 16th-century BC volcanic eruption. What remains is an incredible sight and a magical setting for island hikes, infinity pools, luxury hotels, clifftop wineries, and dreamy sunset dinners. With a land area of 76 square kilometers, Santorini is a little bigger than New York’s island of Manhattan. Where is Santorini? Santorini is an island in Greece, located in the Aegean Sea, 200 km southeast of Athens, 150 km south of Mykonos, and 140 km north of Crete. Flights to Santorini take 4 hours from London, 3.5 hours from Paris, 2 hours from Rome, and 1 hour from Athens. There are no direct flights to Santorini from the USA, Canada, or Australia.

WINTER WONDER - 6 MARCH 2023 In all the world there’s nothing like the sound of falling snow-- The only noise I’ve ever known that makes the clocks move slow; The only sound that sweeps away the din of city streets; And wraps around, in soft embrace, 'most everyone it meets; A sound that’s not a sound at all--A quiet, soft and dear, That comforts all the sleepy souls who sit, and watch, and hear. ~White Noise by Barbara Vance Template: Snowkissed by Heartstrings Scrap Art Kit: Value Pack: Cozy Winter by Aimee Harrison

BE FIERCE This is the Young Women’s Moto and they recite it every Sunday at church. If all young women had this as their core value, this would be a different world. Stay strong, be true to who you truly are - a Daughter of God! Be faithful to your values. BE FIERCE in protecting your virtue. God bless you!! THE YOUNG WOMEN MOTTO I am a BELOVED DAUGHTER of heavenly parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I strive to become like Him. I seek and act upon personal revelation and minister to others in His holy name. I will stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places. As I strive to qualify for exaltation, I cherish the gift of repentance and seek to improve each day. With faith, I will strengthen my home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, and receive the ordinances and blessings of the holy temple.

I've always loved this song - Danny Boy. But every time I read the second verse I'm reduced to a weeping heap. I can image the one who is left behind to be an aged father, mother, maybe an ill sweetheart or even a sibling. It really breaks my heart, especially now that I am in the "aged" category and would be one who is left behind to wait for the return of a beloved "Danny Boy." OH DANNY BOY Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountainside The summer's gone and all the roses falling, 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, 'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so. And when you come and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead - as dead I well may be - Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say a prayer there for me; And I shall hear, though soft ye tread above me, And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be, And ye shall bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
