What Is Lonnie's Room?

There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.

Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."

Tis the Season

Today is December 21, 2010,... the first day of winter and four days before Christmas.  As keeping with the season, it has snowed leaving a beautiful blanket of white fluffy topping which enhances our vision and enthusiasm for this time of year.  So what is your favorite part of this holiday season?  Is it the decorating and the baking?  The children and their eagerness for the jolly old elf to arrive?  Is it the Christmas pageant at church or the cantata?  Or is it having family and friends that bring the magic to your holiday?  I think it is all of the above.  It is our belief system and what the season represents.  The Christmas star that graces the evergreen and the manger's prestigious place on the mantle.  It is Christmas morning (or noon in most cases) when the family arrives all excited to see what is under the tree; to see what delicious food awaits their arrival, and to show everyone what they received earlier that morning in the form of gifts.  It is singing happy birthday to a very special baby renewing the reason for the season.  It is thanking our Greater Being for all the blessings in our lives.

So today before I sign off, I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting my blog,  sharing your insights, and being a friend to someone needing your support.  I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.  May you be blessed with peace and love this holiday season.
