Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! For those of you who celebrate the birth of a little Jewish baby today, may your day be full. For those of you who only know the day as a year long awaited Santa does or doesn't fulfill your wish list (I, for one, do not see a Viking 8 burner stove anywhere on the property, perhaps a reflection that I was not always nice), I can only say, take a deep breath and make your own wishes come true. For those of you whose cups are full of a holiday inspired poignant longing for those no longer with us, or lives radically changed for the not so jolly, check your cup, it might be fuller than you think. Then go take a walk, a bike ride, a run; take a camera along if you have one. Find something, one thing, beautiful in your world. Call me in the morning. Dr. MJ. For the rest, who find this a day that is a day that is a day, may your day as well be full!

One beautiful thing I found yesterday

I have a lot of photos to sort from a whirling round of parties and just a plain gorgeous day in Paradox, so for now, here is how it looked a bit earlier in my part of the world on this Christmas day.

And now I have to go. I hear the beat of many horses hooves coming around the bay and I want to see what happens next!

A little egg nog and smile music

Have a moment of silence for all the gifts we do have, no matter what our creed, Sunday. Do something so full of glad.
