Snow this morning so I tried out my new "Yaktrax". I went up and down our steep driveway with nary a slip or slide.

Snow was flying against the dark sky; the walk was beautiful and my heart light.

Today I'll try to put my house in order, literally and metaphorically, in preparation for a new year.

This week I resumed work on a project that I'd put away 2 years ago when my eyesight was so poor. It will still be slow going, but I think it's important that I finish what I began for practical and spiritual reasons.

How wonderful is the gift of life!
