Winter Walk - A Time to Reflect

I enjoyed a nice winter walk on 12-31-2009... a time to reflect on the prior 365 days... the ups and downs of my year... my failures and successes (well, ok just failures)... my physical and emotional health... My relationships with family and friends. I came to one conclusion: God does some awesome art work!!! Yes... I guess you could say my walk gave me a better perspective on life and what's important. Maybe I should go on a "winter walk" every day.

Getting Rid of an Eyesore

The house across the street is FINALLY being taken down after sitting vacant and in ruins for 2+ years. A pipe burst and the water froze throughout the house right after the tenants moved out. It's been an eyesore on our block and we're thrilled it's finally coming down.

Little Dancing Fingers

Andrew and Savannah have been doing AWESOME with their piano lessons.


They started last fall, taking from a friend of Laurie's... I loved hearing their teacher brag tonight about how well they're doing. Made me smile VERY big. I'm very proud of them and how hard they're working.

Chilly Chimnea

Our chimnea expressed extreme disappointment in our 6 inches of additional snow today and the constant cold weather we've been having...

Winter Walk

There's something about a long nature walk in winter. It's amazing how much beauty can be seen in it's dormancy... Alive but dead; Dancing but still; Breathing but silent.

At times I feel like my entire 2009 has been a "winter" - Yes, it's been a long year... Alive but dead; Dancing but still; Breathing but silent...

Here's to 2010 being an entire year of "summer."
