It's a balmy day here in St. Augustine,
and they tell me it's Christmas Eve!
A light rain created the scent of spring through the window
and yet…
there are lights everywhere and places to go and presents to wrap
and friends to cheer…
so it must be Christmas!
Have a Very Merry,
Everyone!
And try to be nice!

Making friends at any age is a gift and a blessing.
Sharing your toys and time is a bonus.
The connection, the friendliness, the love,
is all.

Although the Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year, it is a celebration of light.
It's the birthday of the sun.
Our red star turns his warm face back to earth once again and like the ancients,
we are assured that there will be another spring and another harvest and back again to another winter solstice.
So, make peace with the year behind you and get your dreams rolling for the one to come.
Here comes the sun!

Christmas is such a mixed bag of tricks,
and then it's over!
Doing something fun with the people you love
seems to be the very best thing to do.
May you find yourself in good company, warm, and loved,
no matter how you choose to spend these days.
It's over before you know it and the days begin to grow longer and a new year begins.

It's difficult to capture the atmosphere of a misty morning,
but the shore birds set the stage,
for peace and tranquility,
amid a crazy season.
