Leading up to...


I have an assortment of hat and scarf sets. I've collected them for years. I use to keep all my sets together and then one year, little by little my colorful collection dwindled. However rest assured each year I always seem to replenish-although not the main point I'm trying to make, it was and still is always enjoyable to have several winter accessories to look at. The main point being winter or should I say leading up to winter I always get my garbs out and arrange them like so and put them somewhere I can find them to wear. While keeping with my own tradition this year an idea came to mind.

If you find that you have something of a bit of a collection perhaps if you can (depending on the collection) pass one along to your child or someone near your heart or that you are fond of. I believe little legacies start with such acts as that. I remember when my grandmother gave me a cuff bracelet. I still have it and have been wearing it for years since along with others I've collected. I managed to always include a cuff bracelet as part of my wardrobe since the day the gift was passed down. So this year let 2011 be the beginning of something special between you and someone special. It doesn't have to be same gender either (although mines might) but let it be something special that can be worked into the fabric of your relationships from this year on...

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.

Thought For The Day

"Life is not about the destination but about the journey (quote from Movie Step Up 3) Towards the end of the movie one of the main characters Moose makes this statement. It resonated with my spirit because I believe that life is about both. The journey and the destination but, I totally understood the point he was making. So go on a little journey with me tonight as I share my thoughts and insights with you throughout the evening well unto the New Year. Also keep checking back with me. As we near the count down I am bringing a poem out of retirement that I wrote years ago. I don't know for how long but I think it's fitting as I look over 2010 and with anticipation as we head into 2011.
