In the company of friends.

Back home for the holidays and I feel as if I am the great Atlas and have been relieved of my heavenly duties. Not that I have carried a great weight in the last four months, in fact you could suggest that I have carried no weight at all, but the amount of relief I feel to be back home is astronomical. It is apparent that I have missed all my friends, and that these people keep my mind and soul from escaping my body and heading for the loony bin.

How much of one's health is psychological and what is the healing power of the company of love and friendship. If I have learned anything in the past two months, it is that the mind plays very powerfully on the body. I have begun to notice that when I am among friends, my health issues begin to hide from me, even though I stay up late telling lies on bar stools and eat whatever is placed in front of me.

So here is to my friends. Know that I appreciate you. Happy holidays to all! The sun is about to make its fiery return as the days begin to grow longer.

Do you know what this is?

Hopefuly it will show up on your computer. Scroll down to find the answer!
















































This is where a bird has hopped along in the snow and then has taken off like a shot into the air, it's wings imprinting a perfectly symmetrical pattern onto the snow. I took this photo the other day along the back 40 while on a hike with the pup.
