Giving thanks…
For the memory of a Great Blue Heron lifting majestically into the air in slow motion, right in front of a friend of mine and I as we got out of the car at the C&O Canal; for parents who taught us a reverence for the natural world.
For the gift of having had parents who raised their children with a love of music, and the piano, flute, violin and guitar lessons by which we learned both how to produce our own music and the discipline from living through that long process.
For the light of the Love in the world.
For the wonder that arrives with each new baby, God’s reminder to love wholeheartedly.
For family gathered around in celebration of what our own babies have grown into. (Awright you guys, who cut into the next row instead of taking the one on the end?)

Thanks for another beautiful, thoughtful post. Thank you for your inspirational outlook on the world and how we can make it a better place.
Now I’ll take the corner roll!

It works out great, as Oscar husband loves the corner bits.
Yum, cinnamon rolls.
I haven’t made them for too long.
And thanks for good friends – in person, by phone, and on the net! Merry Christmas, Alison! And, enjoy those “kids” of yours for the holidays.
