On the 1st Day of Christmas…
*After a very peaceful, Christmas Day I was ready to go today! Talked with clients, planned two portrait sessions, worked-out at the gym for over an hour, cleaned the kitchen and did laundry.
*Got an email from someone very interested in buying the Bronco…that evening a mom and son showed up to take it for a test drive. They loved it, put down a deposit, and if it passes Smog tomorrow they will be back to pick it up! This would be a great relief.
*But backtracking a bit…we woke to a gentle rain, that left behind huge billowing clouds and then a cold, strong wind. Looking down our canyon, I could see white caps sparkling on the ocean. By late afternoon I had to go for a walk on the beach!
“I must go down the the sea again,
for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
and all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
and the flung spray and the blown spume,
and the seagulls crying.”John Masefield

Glad you had a peaceful Christmas! Mine was very enjoyable and laid-back. Today I am doing the same – returning to the everyday things that need doing and relishing the beauty of a life as God’s son. (My back yard is nowhere as dramatic as yours, but beautiful in its winter rest nevertheless.
Merry Christmasing dear Mary! I love seeing your blog-art here on xanga again! Much love to you–
Beautiful, Mary! I love that bit of verse, also!
