I've been a little quiet these days. Every time I sit down to write something, I end up deleting what ever I write. I've been busy with Holiday gatherings and mustering Holiday cheer. And eating Holiday cookies. So many Holiday cookies, I've scheduled a juice cleanse for January. There's been broken arms (not me), dead dogs, emergency appendectomies (again, not me), and not to mention the horribleness of events in Connecticut. I feel like maybe we all just need to sit real still and not make any sudden movements for the next couple of weeks. So let's look at these pictures I took of Christmas lights instead of me ranting about gun control (control does not equal ban people, pull your heads out of your butts) and lack of compassion towards the mentally ill.

Oooohhhh....pretty pretty lights.

I'll probably be practicing this art of stillness and silence until after the New Year.
