The Sun is Coming Back To Us

As The Eagle Flies
The Sun Is
Coming Closer
NOW

Good morning
What a Winter Solstice it is ~
The sun is making its way back to us.
It is now 
Winter
it is official,
but 
I think we would be hard pressed to convince those across the country to believe it is just now starting
since record snowfalls have already fallen.
I hear the snows are to fall in
DC for Santa's ride there as well, making for a white Christmas in many areas this year.
HOPEFULLY
the sun will shine
as Santa rides in on the
back of the Dolphins 
here in Florida!

Well here we are in the middle of the week of
Christmas.
The roads are busy, the airports are getting crazy with folks traveling all over the world.
Security is high as are people's nerves
 and
 patience appears to be the last thing on the list of items packed for the trip.
It seems that flights are being delayed across the country secondary to the weather already,
friends, families and loved ones
are showing signs of stress and worry.
The groecery stores are doing a booming business
and the 
gas stations have not surprised us
here in Florida as we are noticing that 
the price just went up once again
in time for Christmas travel.

Given all of that,
Tis The Seaon to be Jolly
to BE Merry, Bright, and
above all
Generous in Spirit
~ ~ ~

How's that working for all of you on this
fine Wednesday morning?
Have you gotten those cards and pleas out to
OPRAH
about 
Healing Heartaches yet?
Wonder what Oprah is doing to celebrate
Christmas this year?
No No No
Not for others, not with her make-up on, or those 
fine and fresh high heels with the RED soles on the bottom that appear on her feet during the shows.
BUT
What is Oprah doing
as a person for the holidays?
Is she busy preparing like all of us?
Do you think the child in her is coming out to play with wonder and awe... as I am these days?
Wonder if she and Gayle King or Steadman are just giddy with the thoughts of unwrapping presents, or baking or the smells of fantastic things coming from the kitchen... or ... is she on the cruise ship somewhere getting ready to put her toes
 (pedicure by the tennis star legend) in the sands??
Wonder if she is getting ready to curl up with a copy of Healing Heartaches just because she can over the holidays, while getting ready to razzle us with her brilliance on the new OWN in January?
Now that would be a hoot and a holler...
Sure HOPE someone remembers to send me
some "smelling salts" for Christmas just in case!
LOL
Oh how I HOPE so!
Whatever O is doing, I HOPE she does it with a desire of all that she is, and enjoyment of O the person and not so much O the mega star and allows the magic of the season to fill her soul.

The magic of the holidays is what 
we make them, what we choose for them to be.

Where you've been is not where you are,
what you've been through
you've been through
and
you can't go back there again.
Who you are is 
differerent now
no matter who you are
how big you get
or
what you become.
YOU
are the one who gets to choose
who, what, where, and when to 
embrace the magic
of the
Winter Solstice
the 
Reason of the Season
and the
HOPE 
in the holidays
or
The WONDER
of your world.

So
If you are Oprah or if you are Olivia, Kamryn, D'Vante, 
or
If you are
YOU

I HOPE
you are in a state of wonder, awe, excitement
as we enter the winter of 2010
as we
stand in the middle of
Christmas Week!
As we participate in family and friend rituals
celebrations
and joy, kindness and compassion
I pray you peace, good will and passion
for all living things.
 The tree and I are ready
now we wait... we wonder, with the eyes of a child, the hearts of the Ancestors, and the spirit of all living things that have or will ever be.
As the family gears up, and the countdown is underway...

The fire is burning brightly, the embers are hot, with sage in the air, for all who gather here and
those who know who they are,
the prayer bowl is offered...

Stand UP
STOMP
in great gratitude for this day.

Walk In Beauty,
DRSES

G O O D Wednesday morning ! " All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth ", Ah, a song from the past when the tooth fairy & Santa united for wish granting. WHAT ?!?!
Woke up a bit " touched " this morning, silly, full-mooned, etc. Keeping the up-beat spirit.
I like the photo of you, Sherry, by your tree.
Expresses the mood. Your signed book arrived at my cousins house with many thanks, heart tugs and the promise to READ it. Oprah, are you listening ? Peace out, all, till later, I am Irene Rose & FIRM

Oh yea, Christmas will soon be here. I smell the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen and the tasters are standing around waiting for a hand out. The joy of family, the laughter and cheer is a wonderful sound for all of us. Some of us went out and was treated to a pedicure and manicure. Oh how wonderful that before Christmas felt. Of course I think they needed a chain saw to cut someones toenails. Thats all I am saying about that one. The tree looks beautiful Dr. SES, you do so much for everyone and still have time to decorate a wonderful tree. You are da bomb. The Chef is wonderful and the diet is gone thru these days. Blessings to our troops and their families and know you are in our prayers. To all of our family, friends new and old we will have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Blessings to all. You better watch out I heard Santa is coming to town and of course we all have been good.

helloooo,
echoes of sweet child's voices,
sunshine and blue sky,
cold wintery memmories,
building snow forts and snowmen,
catching snowflakes on your tongue
before they hit the ground... thinking
of these things while baking calzones and
cookies, banana bread and cakes,
kitchen quite busy, as for Christmas I wait,
love and best wishes for awesome holidays
to all...
hugging my angels,
sign me,
A.
