Holiday Spirit Returns

Each December the holiday spirit returns. I am finding mine later than normal but it came. Tonight, I decorated my tree and hung a few decorations around the house. It turned out to be quite a chore, worth every minute.

To add the the festivity, it happened to be snowing heavy here in upstate NY. So everything was covered with the white stuff. It transforms a landscape into a wonderland. The first month of snow everyone loves it, the second month we tolerate, by the third month people start getting testy and if it snows beyond that....LOOK OUT!

It was my daughter's birthday. I called her to say Happy Birthday!! She told me that is was a miserable day outside. I could not believe my ears, "How can you say that?" I asked. "Why it is a beautiful winter day! Just like when you were born. I know because I was there."

She did not appreciate my sense of humor. I wish she was two or three years old again, she believed everything I said back then.

Upside down world

My life has been upside for some time now, since my mom passed away last October. I have not had time to write and don't know what I would say if I could.

I am following Dan Duggan's blog and wish everyone would. I have gone to see him play a few times and he is great. It is a shame that good people suffer so much. I wish him well. The world needs more people like him.

I will write more soon......I hope.

A dark Evil descends slithering from beneath the hallowed grounds, surfaced as a snake with forked tongue.

The insular pinhead, devoid of soul, drips its delusive secretion upon the like-minded weakness of other‘s who will crawl upon their belly for a crumb that may be tossed in exchange for their allegiance.

The iniquitousness of a birdbrain will tear down all that was good and sainted, deeming the creators as worthless; a glorified hell is crafted to destroy any goodness that might have remained intact.

Snatch and grasp by seizing what is not of one’s own. Barricading self within a locked enclosure of chain, as a pool of blood sucked from death is viewed as a triumph. This Evil remains in a state of insatiability odium.

Us from the light are sheltered from the deleterious Evil emits. We know it to be forged control that will not prevail.

True power is in knowledge and knowing, in truth and in honor, giving and sharing, and in loving. This is everlasting as the perpetual light we come from.

In time, us of the light will observe the return of humanity after the black cloaks with wide-brim hat shadows eradicate evil from its perch.

Aruba

I just returned from Aruba. I am in love with that place!! I went just in time too because my passport was getting ready to expire. This was the first stamp in that passport so I was pretty excited!!!

It was hot that was for sure. However, if you stay in the shade under a hut on the beach and with the breeze you will be comfy enough until you go into to swim, which will cool you down further. The water is shallow for a long ways out, and warm, you won't want to get out. The color is greenish mixed with the blue water. It is amazing!
