I was talking to a friend on the phone late last night. The vitamin D blasted me out of my winter doldrums (and killed my joint pain stone dead… who knew?) and I was sharing my good fortune with him. Then he axed if I’d written anything lately. I was so disappointed with myself for saying no that I wrote an instrumental called – as you see above. Jeff will, if I ask him nice, once more try to make me understand how to FTP something bigger than 2 megs…. I will post when I can.
This is a candle for the safety of a friend at church who is going through a very scary divorce. I mean, really scary, like I’m scared to read about her in the news scary.
This is a candle of thanksgiving that I have money to help my kids as they establish themselves, and the support of Paul and my folks in that endeavour.
This is a candle of hope for Unca Dave. My mOm is with him now, and I think she and Unca Barry and the rest of Unca Dave’s kin who are visiting him are really wonderful.
This is a candle for Kopper at the turning of the year. And one each for her unique and remarkable children.
This is a candle for Mike and his new apartment *yay*.
This is a candle for Keith, who for his recent demonstrations of manturity, leaves lights and appliances on as if he wasn’t a day over fourteen. Typo intentional, yo. Just in case you were wondering if hip hop is dead. Not, just on life support.
This is a candle for Tammy, who’s back from France.
This is a candle each for my trio of friends/family in Kanata. Brother James, a big shout out for the happiness you gave just by sending postcards to me at work and given Karen a smile from me. Leo & fambly, thanks for sharing the pictures of your travels – and that porcupine, which made me burst out laughing when I saw it. Deb, big warm seasonal inflected-with-cinnamon hugs for you, Jim and Jenn, and your companion animals….
This is a candle for me. I feel human again. Hurting, but able to think about something else besides me for a change. It’s pretty good right now.
