I'll let the beauty of the snowflakes speak for itself for the majority of this entry, and save my readers from the normal flakiness found here. The following pictures were taken on December 24, 2008, when Sumas, Washington was blessed with a foot and a half of snow by the time the snow stopped falling. If you'd like a bigger, better quality version of these images, please, just say the word.
I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. My day was quiet and rather uneventful. I opened my few presents from friends and family in the morning, and later, my neighbor and I enjoyed a holiday meal together. She had salad and the turkey she had prepared, and I had a concoction of rice, peppers, onion, and
Yves Meatless Ground that was quite yummy, if not your traditional holiday fare. Then I watched my cat, Tetley, play with the prezzie that Sandy Claws brought her, and gave thanks for having her in my life. She's a wonderful companion.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I plan to ring it in by myself (by choice), surrounded by candles while sitting in meditation. Instead of focusing on a world torn apart by escalating violence, suffering, pain, and sorrow, I choose, instead, to see the earth blanketed by healing compassion, abundance of all that is good and necessary, and peace. I can make personal resolutions later, but as Buddha said, "What we think, we become."
