Christmas is for Children Sarah was too young last year to get into the holiday spirit....she is making up for lost time this year however and getting her hands on every decoration within reach. My husband and I began collecting ornaments from each place we traveled to since we met and those are ornaments placed very high on the tree. They are among my favorites. Someday it might be fun to have a travel themed Christmas tree.
MY HOLIDAY WISHES (in no particular order):
That my children remain healthy and happy.
That my children develop love and compassion for all living creatures and mankind.
That Luis returns home safely to us after each night that he spends away at the fire station.
That new doors will open for our friends and family who are struggling this year.
That Luis and I get to travel to one of the following places in 2009:
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Chile
Quebec City
Provence, France
Venice, Italy
That I learn to love my laugh lines :-)
That I learn something new about this world of ours from every person that I meet.
That I NEVER lose hope, faith, or love.
And for something really sparkly or really fast(with leather seats). |

| | One True Thing
THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS
CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED.
GANDHI
HE WHO IS CRUEL TO ANIMALS BECOMES HARD ALSO IN
HIS DEALINGS WITH MEN. WE CAN JUDGE THE HEART OF A
MAN BY HIS TREATMENT OF ANIMALS ~
IMMANUEL KANT |
A Moment of Zen~ There are so many defining moments in our lifetimes that it seems impossible to capture any one of them on film.
I am fortunate to have one such picture...this isn't it, but it comes close.
Paradise is not a place that can be found on a map
Instead,It is how you feel
for a moment in your life
And if you find that moment
It can last forever | | |
| | Short Journeys "Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over.
A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness.
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. "
~JOHN STEINBECK
*My all time favorite travel quote |
Long Journeys The simple and ancient things
the things that bring the most pleasure, hardly ever change.
The sea is always the sea
The night is the night
And the stars, the stars. | | | Alone at the Acropolis 2000 |

| | Permenant Fixture Over 3 years have passed and I'm still glowing (but slightly chubbier)! Can you believe there were 606 pictures to choose from? Look below for a tiny sampling of the photos that I've been thumbing through...though there are hundreds this one remains one of the most perfect. It is of Luis vowing to my son to love him and care for him (not a dry eye in in the garden after that).
There was never a happier wife! |
