Next to last day of the year...

 

Sunrise in Georgia on my way (last week) to visit family.

And two new critters came home with me from FL. First is Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear from my grandson Michael. He's a "warmie" with lavender which is enhanced when he's heated in a microwave...then he's cuddly warm! (I have to go buy a new microwave since mine died before my trip south.)

Second new critter is this hedgehog from my son, with good advice inside his rim. I think I'll call him Tiny.

"Enjoy the Little Things."

Today's quote:

Dawn's early light

Sunrise from my front porch, winter 2012

Love, yes, love your calling, for this holy and generous love will impart strength to you so as to enable you to surmount all obstacles. 
 St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, Embrace the World

Sorry about not posting on Washington's birthday, I think that must have some cosmic reason, of which I can't possibly fathom.  But I'm back!

Winter sunrise promise
