Sweet and Bittersweet

What an odd close to this year. Yesterday I became a bit "greener" by using our Christmas-gift, reusable shopping bags for the first time. Gradually I am changing my habits toward geo-sustainability. I guess that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Today marks the final day of 2008 and what would have normally been an evening of celebration has been sobered by a family crisis of one of our revelers. Some of us will still gather, per the wishes of the friends, but our hearts will be elsewhere, as well as, probably, our minds.

To our friends..................we have walked in your shoes. We are with you in spirit until it is appropriate to be with you in person. We lift our prayers upward.

Ancora imparo
