Thawing my Winter Heart

I love the quiet of the mornings when everyone else is off to school and work, and I get to sit down for some quiet reflection.  Last night we got a dusting of snow.  Now as the sun dances across the shimmering surfaces, I watch as the snow melts off the mailbox, first in drips, [...]

The January Journey

The beginning of 2010 did not start off as I had planned.  On the 6th of January, I fell on black ice and broke my wrist so badly that I had to have a plate put in to stabilize the bone.  This was after almost two full weeks of pain and swelling and a not [...]
