Snow Flakes in December

Today we saw snowflakes, spiraling down so softly but for a fleeting moment! The Sun crept out and broke apart the cold winter clouds. It was a beautiful view to behold and take in. Yes today is a good day to be alive. Dogs are all asleep, while the wolves set pace in anticipation of yet another winter to frolic in! Their favorite time of year. They sleep in the deep snow of a blizzard going through, never giving notice to chill. Their nose gently tucked in by their tail. As November was a very warm month, I would imagine December will make up for it. Thinking there might be a green Christmas! Isn't my choice mind you, Christmas just isn't without snow. I been loading up pictures from my computer and printing ones that I think the kids might like to have. They are always giving me pictures of the family, so now I must return the favor so they also have some of the same memories I have.... oh the time it musters such thoughts....silver bells, sleigh rides, movies, stories, shopping, baking, and all the happy chatter that goes with it. May all your dreams come true to the heart....

Up so early!

Getting up early like 4:30 is for the dogs as they are the ones that forgot about daylight savings time and still like to follow that schedule.
As I sit in the light of my lamp and write I wonder how life was meant to be before we discovered these last centuries and all the races to get to the top of a meaningless hill. As men become more aggressive and women get more resistant, more divorces, more STD's and more cancers. Where were we when all this was going on before? Oh yeah we just dropped dead and that was the end of it! Now we pay outrageous money to find out nothing is wrong except that we are getting old! So many pills for this and that and then some for sideaffects of others. All those chemicals can't be good. I got off 4 this year and I feel alive and active. Lost 60 pounds so far! After 7 years of idleness there is something that has awakened me. My writing is coming back and I stay awake for at leat 8 hours!

Hoidays

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on life and family.
My times with friends and family have been my smiles on my face and heart. The gathering of souls to celebrate life and health and or course a lot of food! I think about the pilgrims as I was raise to learn about them as a child in school. We cut out our turkeys that we so carefully colored and put them on the refrigerator! I think of what I am thankful for and here is my list.
Thank you that I feel pain in my legs and feet. Others aren't so lucky as they have no legs.
Thank you for letting me use my mind. As I learned about strokes through experience I am thankful that somethings I forget. Some things are best forgotten they say!
I am thankful for my Partner Cindy, My life would not be so wonderful without out her. Thanks for 12 years so far! Double or nothing?Others are alone and some are happy that way.
I am thankful for my children, they are happy and have children. And the life cycle goes round and round. The kids turned out better than me, so they learned to improve on something good and made excellent choices.
I am thankful for life and the journey that the Spirit in the Sky has given me, I am sure there will be explanations when I get to heaven every time I asked "WHY?"
We can only take one day at a time as we are in the moment. My friends and family comfort me in the last years. Soon oh soon, time will move to the answers in our hearts!
