Frost

Yup, that's what we've got this morning - frost, and quite a bit. It's COLD out there! Took a nice, brisk walk w/the doggies at 6:30, wearing my warmest coat, a double layer knit hat and handwarmers. Brrrrrrr. But the sun is coming up, and it will all thaw out soon. Just in time for another few days of rain.

It's New Year's Eve, but I'm not really a party kind of girl. We generally keep things pretty quiet. Ken has to work late (forced overtime) but when he gets home we'll drop in at a friend's party, then head home to have a little champagne. We're planning to head up to my Dad's tomorrow for his annual New Year's Day crab cioppino feast - yum!

2010 was pretty good until we hit Sept. 9th, and then it all came to a screeching halt. Healing is a work in progress. Isn't it always? My hope and prayer for 2011 is that we continue our process of healing, help others heal, and continue to find ways to reach out. I truly believe this will be the year our church becomes publicly welcoming and affirming to ALL people, and esp. to people of all gender expressions and sexual identities. Amen.

Stay warm. Stay safe.
