Short apology for missing things this past weekend. I’m afraid my work life has been a bit intense of late. I will be back with a post this weekend. In the meantime, I thought I would share a tradition of mine for Thanksgiving weekend. It always seemed a quiet time before the onrush of the Christmas season. A bit of reflection, a bit of preparation. Sometimes, if I’m not spending hours in the kitchen, I actually start to prepare for the upcoming season by sorting out Christmas card lists, thinking about what I will decorate (no, I wait until much closer to Christmas to actually do so), and what the year has meant to me. This year’s Christmas card reflects that to some extent. So, to make up for my absence last weekend, here is a bit of art from my friend PansyLee VanMeereren and a bit of verse from me:
A year of change
A year the same
Memories lost
Moments gained
Fears conquered
Goals achieved
A season
To reflect
The reason
To believe
