It is strange to be isolated on Easter.  It certainly is disappointing not to get together with family I don’t often see – especially the newest members of the family.  But it is a time to reflect on the many blessings I have in my family.

When times are tough, people show their character.  The virus isolation has taught me a lot about people – some surprising revelations about the true character of people I thought I knew.  But through distancing and some other recent challenges, I’ve found comfort in knowing my family is a constant – something to count on in times of extreme distress.

Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter!

P.S.  The photos included here represent the limited Easter décor I put out this year.  If you follow my blog, you probably find it hard to believe I didn’t dye any eggs this year since I normally come up with a new theme each year!  Fairfield Country, where I live in CT, has been hard hit by the virus and I have been doing my part by not going out.  So, I haven’t been to a grocery store to purchase eggs!

christmas 2016 pleasure in simple things blog

As this post goes up on the blog, I will be busy cleaning up from my Christmas celebration.  My official Christmas was postponed a little bit this year since work commitments prevented the entire family from getting together on the 25th.

In fact, since my daughter worked both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, she requested a turkey dinner with cranberry sauce for our official family dinner last night…and, that fresh turkey cooked up perfectly!

I hope you are all enjoying your family as much as I am this holiday season.

I look forward to sharing more inspirations for a creative life as we begin a new year!

Thanks for stopping by!  Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
