2010 Calendar (Feb)

The photo we selected for the month of February is actually a very old one. It was originally taken when my parents came to visit us back in August 2007. The picture was taken at a very special place for me... in fact........it is one of my favorite retreats in all of Ireland. I often go here when I need to be alone, or need a place to read, pray, and journal. Located high in the Connemara mountains somewhere in borderlands of county Galway or Mayo... it is a small lough (lake) that is completely surrounded by mountains. It is one of those special places where tourists don't go... where the animals look at you with confusion (because they rarely see outsiders)... and where I always feel closer to God. We discovered the spot on this particular day (that the photo was taken) as we drove through the mountains with my parents. It was a beautiful summers day, where the skies were blue, and the cares of the world seemed to be a million miles away. We found a beautiful red sand beach on which to have a picnic and to lay in the warm sun. Mom walked on the beach - as she loves to do, and Dad and I explored these two crooked trees that were a shelter for the sheep. The day was perfect........ and those moments will always be etched in my thoughts and heart.
