A Toast~~~2009

What a year. It was the beginning for me of writing this Blog. There will be more changes to come but isn't that what time always brings. More changes.
I am sure that 2010 will have it's changes to blow through our lives.
I pray that the winds of change will be gentle and kind to anyone who is reading this. We all need a gentle breeze to move us that much further in our lives. Hopefully, lift us up when we are down and the gusts will be at our back.
You see, there is one thing you can count on living in Roswell..the Wind!
Ha, just ask any local.
Seemed that we had alot of tough wind this past year. In fact, one of my friends calls the wind we had about a month or so ago..the Hurricane!
Everyone in town will know what you're talking about. That wind blew out electricity and some windows at the Petroleum building.

Yet, here we all stand together on the brink of a New Year.

So, a toast to 2010.
May we each have courage to face the wind that will blow through our lives and may it lift us to higher ground!

Christmas time in Roswell...

The stores seem busy with shoppers. The big snowflake decorations are on our Alien Lamp posts! The light parade has come and gone. Now, to the busyness of Christmas.
Concerts to attend. Parties and dancing..though it is dark outside the light shines within. Attempts are made at making this holiday done with good cheer no matter what the circumstances are. It is time to stop. Do a little jig, raise a pint and wish everyone in Alienville a Merry Christmas~
All the blessings of a Happy New Year to each of you from my little spot in Roswell.

Snowing in Roswell...

Happy day!
I woke up in the middle of the night and like a gentle grace the snow began to fall! There was a little moonlight trickling through the clouds which made the snow glisten even more.
This morning as I was wandering around my house I came across the book, Practicing the Presence. Reminding me, once again, to remain in the moment. I do understand how important it is to have memories and also to plan for the future. But at this time in my life it is important for me to be happy right at this moment.
To not walk by happiness without recognizing it!
Being close to family and friends.
To reach out and give a hug! That is important! Simple things. It is in those simple things that I find Peace. Letting go of trying to control life and just allowing it to be as it is. Walking on if I need to...or maybe just sitting a spell by the fire to reorganize myself.
