I don't want to use this blog as an outlet for my pent-up frustration at the legislative process and yet I am so frustrated, so angry, so disappointed, so . . . well, just plain mad! I just don't understand how one man, one Senator, can wreck such havoc on the welfare of the country. He whines, he moans, he cries "Victim" and on and on it goes and what does he get for it? Everything he wants! What the . . . . ! ! !
'Nough said!
So now, in light of the season of Light, and nearing the time for the Winter Solstice, I am reminded of times when I was in the company of women who reveled in ritual - who celebrated ceremony - who acknowledged and embraced our bodies and their mysterious and miraculous connection to the Earth. I miss them, those amazing women! Two of them are still friends and for that and for them, I am "Thank you!"
I have wrapped all the Christmas presents and have them ready for bows to be applied once our Christmas celebration time arrives. I think I already told you it won't be until January 3rd as two of our families will be out of town on Christmas with other families. I still need to pick up a couple of "money-cards"; other than that, it is all taken care of as far as I am concerned. My daughter Ann spoke of baking sugar cookies, magic squares and . . . oh, nuts, I can't think of the name of the cookies right now - chocolate cookies that are rolled into balls and then covered with powdered sugar so when they bake they look spackled. Well, anyway, they are chewy and good! I am delighted that she is carrying on a tradition that we followed when my children were young - seated around the dinette table - each with his/her own batch of sprinkles, etc. Oh, such precious, precious memories! That's really what this whole Holiday Season is about, huh? Memories! Sweet, sweet memories!
And for them and for you, dear readers, I say
Thanks for it all!
