Happy belated New Year To All !! Way before the New Year began, I was thinking of something that needed my attention, something that I really needed to work on.

That being my Soul! Thoughts of how long I have neglected my soul,how long I have kept it without nourishment, how long I have been unaware ! This is not a New Year's resolution, those are usually headed for failure,in my case. Yes, I would like to loose 15 pounds, Yes, I would like to start taking my vitamins again, Yes, Yes and Yes!! There are things about me that I like, And things that I don't like!

So, how does this relate to my Soul?? I believe that every action,every word,every thought gets directly filtered through the soul! I envision the Soul as a brilliant sphere , a separate entity living in me, and only I am responsible for it's care and well-being! I MUST Mother it,protect it and enrich it ! Everything is left behind when we leave this world..but the soul lives and continues on !

I feel that if we all attended to our Soul's,That we could make a difference in OUR lives and the lives of others..Or is that just what I feel?? How about YOU!!!

Snow!

.....we've had quite a bit of it this season! Having lived in Boise for almost three years now, the "locals" are saying this year's snowfall is the most they've seen in awhile. And any snow is a lot for us, having spent the last 9 years in AZ!

Here are some photos from our yard....that's as far as I want to venture out!

Whew!!!

That's exactly what I said when Christmas was over. Don't get me wrong ~ I loved the evening spent with my sisters and our families on Christmas Eve ~ I loved Christmas morning and opening gifts with my husband and kids ~ I loved Christmas Day at my in-laws and visiting with 45 family members (2 parents, their 12 kids, their kids' spouses, and all the grandchildren ~ can anyone say madhouse???) ~ I loved having friends and neighbors stopping by Christmas afternoon ~ and I loved having our oldest son come home after work and his girlfriend and her 3 little ones come over to visit and open gifts. I loved it all but..... Whew!!!

I'll share a few photos of the frosty Christmas morning we woke up to see. I always wish for snow, but we don't get it as often as we used to here on the Plateau in Tennessee. Even though we'd like to sleep in on a cold winter morn, that just isn't possible. Someone has to feed the horse and mule, the chickens and turkey, and the dogs and cat... funny how Mom (me) ends up with that chore so often. But what a beautiful morning it was ~ the sun coming up through the trees and nature all a sparkle as if God had sprinkled diamond dust all around.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a blessed New Year!

Take Care & God Bless,
