I’m emotionally worn out today, after my water heater leaked on the coldest night of the year. (Thankfully, my dad saved the day again, and is installing a new water heater this afternoon. If not for his expertise, I would probably have to move to an apartment.) So here’s a contemplative photo of Peach that I took this morning, and some Friday links. (Some of these have been in my reader for months!)
♥ Vintage Postcard Calendar Journal (this could be a cute Valentine’s present!)
♥ A baking soda storage tip from the geniuses at Muddy’s Bake Shop (I feel a sudden need for a Grasshopper cupcake).
♥ You Are Mine – a meditation on Isaiah 43 (one of my favorite passages) from a blogger who recently lost her home in a fire.
♥ Thoughts on Christian love from Tribal Wife.
♥ Thoughts on Mother Teresa from author Jonalyn Grace Fincher.
♥ Tips on using Google Reader from my friend Jessica (this is very helpful!).
♥ Tips for Southerners on Surviving New England Winters. Well, I’m still in the South, but with the winter we’re having, this cracked me up. Especially the Shaq snow-o-meter.
♥ Emily at Chatting at the Sky has been focusing on art (in the broad sense) and creativity and boldness, and I’ve been starring every post. Some of my recent favorites: Wake up and Dream; When They Don’t Like Your Art; How to Live Big; 5 Ways to Guarantee Your Art Isn’t A Waste of Time.
♥ The Net – an example of the importance of women’s friendships. This post made me well up with thankfulness for my own Net. :)
Oh thank you for the link! :)
Also, this post made me feel like I should’ve posted some different Valentiney links I’ve come across. Did you see the awesome brownies on Smitten Kitchen?
I always think links posts will be boring for my readers, but I always love yours! So I can probably do them more often. :)
PS Sorry about the water heater. :(
Awww, what a sweet picture of Peach! I love it when kitties look contemplative.
Peach is adorable and looks so cozy! :)
I loved the one about winter! So appropriate!
Love the picture of Peach. You do a great job picking a single photo to use in your posts. I’m terrible at that! I either post way too many or none. :) Oh well … that’s why there are so many blogs — for the different likes of the readers.
Thanks guys! She is indeed very cute. :)
R, most of the blogs I read post TONS of pictures, so there’s nothing wrong with that! I just like to keep it simple usually. :)
