As the days get shorter and the nights much longer and even here in Arizona, much colder I have started thinking that I need to start getting on with my life, paying attention to the wonderful furry kids (the cats) that are still physically in my life and preparing for the Winter Solstice season.
Actually I started on Thanksgiving day. Brought the greens in side, in way of my wonderful artificial evergreen. Decorated with sparkling white lights, old glass colorful hanging decorations, gold ribbons, family treasures and Lina you will love this, strings of pearls, my favorite. The lights reflect off the ornaments and brighten the house at night. The candles are every where. Bringing light to every darkened corner, even the one in my heart. I smile now when I think of my Jakey, remembering the love we had and will always have. This will be the first Solstice season with out him in 11 years but the kitties and I will be toasting him on the longest night of the year, all waiting for the sun to rise and banish that oh so long night.
Keep warm you all who are in this hemisphere and for those who aren't, well what can say, keep cool
Lots of love
Susan
