As this is the year ending ,it is also a new year begining . This book is written by someone I am very close too. She has a story to tell. It took seven years to write. She acknowledged me in this book I think that's an honor. Today is also very important because it is my sister's Birthday.
Oh the day after. There is so much thought here. Shampoo for my hair, I may never have to buy shampoo again and even a suntan. Jewelry to dress me up, a little hard to see but I have two new rings a bracklet necklace and errings. Food to eat carmels and dried shrimp. A water bottle to quince my thirst .A hand made carrier for my camera. PJ's & slippers to keep me warm and comfortable. A hand made hanging quilt A hand to help me through. A hand made emborider picture framed. A CD to teach me to heal. A Chair to rest on. Stationary and notes to communiate.Now this all really does spell a lot of love. and that's all healing really is. 
Our first white Christmas. I finaly got to the store. Wow what a deal I couldn't even buy a ham.
Even The birds can't Fly I put out some water and bread for them. I felt really bad a humming bird came to the feeder but it was frozen.
Wise little thing isn't he. he just knows the sun will shine soon.
Just loved this one my neighbors lights and the night sky,beautiful fir covered with snow. Of course I am really ready for the looney bin about now. We mostly likely will not have Christmas on the 25 th unless , we get a big surprise and warmth comes to visit us. one more lesson in natures mysteries.
Early morning light . The trees have a pink tone adding color from the sun rise.
And I thought a have a snow job yesterday. Man of the hour headed for Portland Airport.
It is 26 % and snowing . Anyone living where it snows thinks and so what. Here we just get rain 360 days of the year .
Man of the hour with his trusty snow shovel. All american with flag flowing. As the weather is changing so is life . Many storms on the horizons . Some days it seems the storm will last forever but it doesn't .The sun will shine and the birds will sing. The spring of our live in on the way.
Winter Solstice celebrates the return of light after the longest night of the year. It is a time of rebirth and new beginings. This is when the Goddess of winter start the cermony for a new year.
This is what you do when it snows. I usually do this with daughter & granddaughter 'See candy and blond fudge.'
There is just something so wonderful watching it snow. Seems to put a nice clean quiet blanket on the world. Now really is a time when we need the comfort of this silent blessing.
Oh the excitment of snow. it isn't often that we get snow . Fun time and for most it is an excuse to have another day at home. That extra time we don't expect . I am making Candy my Blond fudge was perfect the first time in years (so Ifelt hopeful). Maybe my healing has been all about making candy. Here I thought it was about becoming a guru. my Sisters think I'm a witch which is a good thing (Ithink .) There is a very real group of white witches. My nieghbor was a member , she was very funny she would call me for the full moon ceremony, if I didn't anwser my phone she woulld leave a message saying. I know your home so get butt over here. I would go for midnight dancing around the fire and chant our prayers howl at moon. Another road I have traveled looking for healing.
Illusions, oh the Joy of the holidays. It is the time when we can dream of what we would like our christmas to be. Families all gathered with love and care. Of course the reality is we are all in some point of healing in all our relationships. So illusions are what bring the real sadness at this time. Not many of us have Norman Rockwell Christmas's . We just keep on working for more and that's what healing is all about.
The Sea has always called to me. I can feel everything in my body start to relax as soon as I smell the salty air. I love to sit on a piece of draft wood and meditate. I can feel my master's presents here. I am thinking I need to take me to the beach. I so need a renewal of spirit. I am decorating for Christmas and wondering why? We go through so work and effort for one day then load all the stuff for a year . The real decorations for me are the smiles of my friends . The laughter of my Great Grandson. The joy of seeing my Granddaughters creations. my daughter shopping for clothes. Now that's decorations.
The art of being alive is to continue to grow. Somedays that seems like a tall order.
