The end of 2008 brought so many goodbyes … so much death … and it’s time I spent some time here reaching into 2009, welcoming the potentials and celebrating life.
I have hope, always, and the beginning of this year requires that I replenish my stores of it.
There is a lot of joy on the edges of the horizon, and so much love coming toward me. I want and need to be ready for it all.
Here’s an inspiration … something that reminds what it’s all about …
Thanks Jo and Paul …

I'm in this one, too ...
And I'm in here, as well ...
Paradise Preoccupied 
When my dad died years ago, I was consumed by grief for a while. I took comfort in this proverb, oddly enough: “The cure for dirt is soap and water. The cure for death is life.”
Live your life, love your kids, embrace the possibilities that are out there. That’s the way to heal.
That’s beautiful, Dee. Thanks.
I still miss my dad, too.
Amazing how M&Ms can inspire so much love and laughter, eh?
Love you,
Sis
