                 Purrs of Wisdom with Ingrid King

The heart can be a bit of a hoarder, stockpiling grudges, harsh words and past pain as if each were a priceless artifact - rather than a ticket stub to a show that's long since ended. Unfortunately these keepsakes take up precious space where new joy could be doing cartwheels. And so we need to recognize that every past hurt is not meant to be a tenant with a lease, but merely a traveler passing through.

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on December 2nd. I was at a hospital that day for an appointment with my ophthalmologist. There is a beautiful chapel in this hospital. I was early for my appointment, so I went to the chapel first and took these photos. You can click on any image to see a larger view.

These last photos were all taken in the same park as my previous post! Yes, with my cellphone and at night! I was so thrilled with the decorations the city put in this park here in Montreal that I had to take these photos and share them all with you!

I love the shimmers of red light from this Christmas tree reflecting in the snow!
