Today is #MarketFriday initiated by Hive account@dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. Every week, I look forward to what you send me and I am always so very happy to see so many from all over the world.

Come on over, sit down and relax. We are going to be doing Christmas once again. A time to enjoy. A time to cherish. A time to spend moments with your loved ones. Breathe deeply and find your magic!

Who doesn't love to see what they will be selling in some foreign market, shopping in places I have never been to and some, never even heard of. There is always a curiosity attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! We all do!! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, art galleries, or even a Christmas Market, wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and Hive account@dswigle.

It is time to cue the music, Maestro!

There is something about that deep voice that resonates well with my soul. One of the greatest tenors of our time and to him, music was everything.

Words to Panis Angelicus

Panis angelicus
Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
dat panis coelicus
figuris terminum;
o res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
pauper, pauper
servus et humilis.
pauper, pauper
servus et humilis.

An Arab sheik is old and must leave his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition: Both sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line LAST will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

Answer: The rules of the race were that the owner of the camel that crosses the finish line last wins the fortune. The wise man simply told them to switch camels.

When It comes to all things Christmas, I am no stranger to the glitter and magic of the season. It has been busy these last few days, getting a few projects completed around town. I am almost ready to finish up with those things and shift my focus to the reason for the season. Of course, anyone who knows me knows that it a year-round commitment. So. for a moment of three. let's go and dream about how we might decorate our house. After all, in the land of cyber, the magic is in the air(waves). For sure.

Go with the glitter my heart says! Who am I to argue? And when I want to break away from the commercialism of the season, I put on my Christmas music and add another string of lights to the manger. I'm kidding, of course. I still my heart and let it fill with joy, for the life I have, for the people I know and for the gift of another day that I have been given.

The gift of love.
The gift of peace.
The gift of happiness.
May all these be yours at Christmas.

May the joy continue to radiate in your lives,
long after the season is gone, gone, gone.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Love to all, Denise

Walking through this store, there are just so many beautiful things to look at, maybe even taking a few of their ideas and mixing them with your own. Some of my best ideas come from walking around stores like this, trying to figure out how they have achieved a certain look. Thank you for perusing the market with me on #MarketFriday! I look forward to seeing your post!

A flower! There must be a flower. Always a flower. This picture is for the #FridayBlue #ColorChallenge by Hive account@kalemandra

There is just something about the quiet beauty of nature. It surrounds me, the splendor, the majesty - the newness of it all. When the sun rises, it calls for me to start anew, another day, another day.

Oh, yes. I open my eyes and unwrap another gift.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.
