Photo Friday! A Little Beach Get Away!

One thing you likely don't know about me it that I love the ocean, I can't imagine not living by the sea and the fact that I can see the water from my home and my second home (at my mom's place in Bay Bulls NL) and for that matter my third home (Robyn's childhood home of Little Heart's Ease NL) makes me a little giddy...

To me the world make a little more sense when I'm by the waters edge looking out at the waves or even just the little ripples in the bay... I say a little more sense because after loosing my father In-law so suddenly last month the world seems a little more than off, a little more than wrong...

The photos I'm sharing today are from a quick trip to the beach we took the afternoon after his funeral and it just seemed that the sun was shining for him, the waves were rolling for him and to be honest it put me a little more at peace with everything.

Sea Star dried on the rocks

I love that the beach offers so many things to capture in a photo its like a playground for nature....

Happy Friday Friends!

The Power of Words!

If you follow Momma Made It! on Pinterest (AKA if you follow little old me... and here is how...) you may have noticed that I pin A LOT of quotes....

Sometimes they are light hearted and funny and sometimes they are down right serious and heartfelt and every now and then I pin one that is sad and heartbreaking.... that's a whole lot happening to my heart right there... but that is just it.

Its amazing to me what words can do for us, what they "say" to us how they change our mood or our thoughts or how our hearts feel... It still shocks me that a word or two can change how I see things and how I think about them.

The power of words is really something when you think about how they effect us.

So I leave you with one of my favorite quotes...
