A Moment's Pause... Getting Ready for Christmas?

Looking forward to a Merry Christmas? Usually Christmas holds a surprise in wait for almost everyone, it seems.

Check out the video below... ;-)

Garden Lily had visited me earlier and been inspired

by the Youtube video on the Miniscule Ladybug and Mosquitos
that I'd posted earlier... as I'd been inspired by Meg and Randy.

Reminds me of my post "Fly Get's the Upper Hand!" of March 21, 2009. (Go ahead! Click on this last link!) I took a few liberties with my parody on the poem by Mary Howitt.

Happy December!

Wishing You a Merry Christmas

Best wishes for a Wonderful (restful!) Christmas celebration and holiday season. May you be blessed with safe travel and the making of memories to warm the heart during the rest of this Winter season. :-)

Gladsome Be?

The driving snow is like a mist,

I cannot see but quite –

The trees across the backyard,

Are finely dressed in white.

December’s gift, sight to behold,

I cannot get it right –

Am I gladsome, am I not?

As gusts whisk flakes in flight…

I then inspect from inside out,

My heart has reached its height –

The beauty-gift I love the most -

The arms of friends held tight.

So then I utter “Thank you”

To the One who offers bright;

Truth and beauty to absorb

And Self throughout the night.
