The Cardinal And Happy New Year


A comforting thought for cold Winter days
A cardinal is a representation
of a loved one who has passed.
When you see one it means they are visiting you.
They usually show up when you most need them or miss them.
They also make an appearance during times of celebration
as well as despair.
to let you know they will always be with you.
Look for them
they will appear....

HAPPY NEW YEAR

As we begin a new year may it be
with thankfulness and peace.
May we put painful memories to rest,
except the upcoming year
with challenges it will bring,
reach out in love
to all that cross our path and
accept the love that surrounds us.

May we each be
Happy, Well, Safe and at Peace.....

    A new beginning is so fun.

    I make mine here in Florida...and you in the north country.

    Wishing you always the best of everything.

    ((hugs))

    I did not know cardinals were visitors from lives past, but it is a comforting thought. They are so lovely in the gray of winter.

    I did not know that about Cardinals. No wonder I always have so many at my feeder. Hoping this year will be better than last--for the world and for us tiny inhabitants of it.

    I loved this post. When I lived in the south I saw cardinals daily. One pair lived around my house which bordered a wetlands area; a creek was only feet from one of the feeders. Each spring/summer the parents brought the new babies to visit. I saw them all year and watched the males change into their adult feathers. (The juvenile males are colored like females until they are grown.) We never saw cardinals in the PNW - this area is not part of their territory. Made me so sad. When my mother died (in the south), there they were! Cardinals sat on tree branches all along the procession route, lining the path we traveled. It was such a thrill to see them in such profusion, especially on such a solemn day. They filled my heart with joy when it was breaking. Thanks for sharing this with us.
