Taking time today to be grateful for our freedom, and to reflect on the enormous cost.

Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.
About Me
- Jenn
- Ontario, Canada
- So many things capture my interest and I love, in no particular order, taking photos, cooking a great meal for my crew, drinking coffee, staying up late reading, being a hockey and soccer mama, fresh linens, snow days, a clean kitchen, vanilla candles, scrapbooking, lazy days at the beach, and finding the magic in everyday things with my large family of eight!

wow all those little flags -what a beautiful tribute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for remembering and for this powerful post.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you dropped by http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/11/basilica-shrine-of-saint-mary.html to share.
We found ourselves (quite by accident) in London two years ago on the poppy day. There was a fun parade and a beautiful memorial ceremony. Glad we got to take part in a very small way.
ReplyDeleteThe garden of flags is amazing. What a tribute. It's amazing that the poem still gets to me every single year. Even though I have heard it my whole life, it still catches my breath and brings a tear. One of the greatest pieces of poetry ever written.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Jenn :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful reminder of our freedom. Thank you for posting at #happydiaries Jenn. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteI like that you linked this to #happydiaries. Even though it is a day of sadness, the ongoing observation and the gratitude it symbolises are quite wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat flag photo is powerful. Such a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with The Alder Collective. Your post has been pinned to our group board. We hope you'll join us again next Tuesday at 8 pm EST.
We should never forget and remember that loses were not confined to Europe
ReplyDeleteI totally get why you shared this one Jenn. Yes its sad to think of those who have died, but also a sense of pride and unity as well. I marked the two minute silence in a busy town centre. everybody stopped and fell silent. It was a magic moment. Tracey xx #happydiaries
ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a timely post - and it is so good to continue to remember. That garden of flags is beautiful. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo x
ReplyDeleteSo many lives lost. The photos are precious. Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More!
ReplyDeleteLittle wonder that we observe with silence, words don't really seem to suffice do they?
