First Blog

Hola ,Today Mon., Feb. 8,2010 is my first blog . It is windy and cold 10 degrees at 6:30 am for the third day in a row .

I would like this blog to be a conversation of Kindness and Integrity . There is a lack of a sense of “being connected”   in our lives today . We need to find comfort in our curiosity . I took a walk late yesterday afternoon and was surprised to hear beech leave chattering in the wind . Still attached to their branches after all this wind . Then there was the gurgling of the paramecium like bubbles skirting under there cover of ice . Do bubbles ever freeze ? 

As I walked up the hill to home I found an eye catching shape in a frozen puddle .




Today is Feb. 21, as I reread this post I am choosing to post it  . Initially , I felt it was too personal and not enough pizazz . The  punch is being STRONG personally . Take the time to look around ourselves . See the beauty , take a survey of our environment ,ask the questions ,and search for answers . Even the sounds are different today from yesterday . Granted the wind is still howling , ripped the prayer flags from the house . The change is the chickadee is calling to its mate , and the red squirrels not only are chattering more ,they are attacking and falling out of trees in their asserting “ My genes are the best .” 

Love to hear of your observations
