Living In the Moment

SKIING In all sports, you need to have an open mind Traveling down mountains, thinking you’re one of a kind Your patience is dwindling, you may want to cry Your friends are outstanding, it pushes you to try A sign in the distance, for a beginner’s trail Thinking you might take it, rather than fail Black diamonds mean, danger for all Beginners sticking to easier trails, not to fall Skiing along you take the wrong turn The next run down, you will certainly learn You head to another lift to settle all fear Confidence kicks in and you do not have a care Carefully shifting from side to side Assuring yourself to save your own hide Trying another trail, this is the real test With trails behind you, you want to look your best You reach the bottom of the hill with a smile and your friends say, I like your style

This year I decided to go with "Old Saint Nicholas" Christmas Cards. I have always like the feel of "Days Gone By". My folks have told me of a song entitled, "Born Too Late" - I love the music, fashion and movies from years past. I feel like "An Old Soul" ... What type of Christmas Theme have you decided on this year? Yesteryear? Modern? A tree with white lights and white ornaments? Or an old fashioned tree with many ornaments? I would love to hear from you ...

During this Christmas Season I know a few families that are having a very difficult time. I would like to put out "My Christmas Wish" to those families in need. I would like to ask for their lives to return back to normal. I would like them to feel whole again. If I could ask for anything this year, I would want this most of all. What is your Christmas Wish?

Simon & Garfunkel ~ Bridge Over Troubled Water ~ The Sound of Silence ~ 13 Grammy Awards ~  The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Yes, I am speaking of Paul Simon.  He has been a favorite of mine for many years. If I hear one of his songs on the radio, I cannot pass it by ... He has no many songs that make me want to get up and dance ... Cecelia ~ Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes ~ Graceland ~ Kodachrome ~ Loves Me Like a Rock And Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard ...  His Graceland CD is one I can listen to over and over again ... What musician do you find yourself going back to?
