This Perfectly Imperfect Life

Happy Solstice! May you find, and be filled with, the light and warmth of Winter.  (Photos taken during our Winter Solstice Holly Forest walk. More to come, stay tuned).

Welcome Winter! Autumn didn't leave us without a fight. The weather turned ugly last night and isn't yet much improved.

I am usually sad to see Autumn go, but, this year I'm ready to leave this one behind and move on! On this, our shortest day of the year, I'm gladly snuggled up in my favorite chair enjoying the soft twinkle of the Christmas lights, watching Doctor Who on BBC America with Hubbs, enjoying the peacefulness of it all. How are you passing this day? Blessings to you this evening and all Winter! Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Our little kitty patient Pinky is doing Much better! Thanks to my wonderful Vet who re-prescribed Pinky's steriod in pill form (the on-call Vet gave me the liquid which made him sick to his stomach twice) and who told me to put Pinky's meds (the pill, cut into smaller pieces and his antibiotic) in a saucer & mix the meds with some sardines to trick the persnickety little smart cat into taking the meds with no problem! It works like a charm! (Thank God!) A follow up at the Rheumologist today; last month's bloodwork shows my kidney & liver functions are perfect! ( Thank God!) My vitamin d is low but between my multi-vitamin and a prescription D3 of ...

A beautiful Winter Solstice night.

Winter has arrived! (With snow on the ground here). This is the shortest day of our year, as it is one with the least amount of day light. A short yet meaningful day. Along & cozy night. A Happy Winter Solstice to you & yours!
