Living In the Moment

I wanted to take this time to Wish a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all my Family & Friends ... I am sending love, health and happiness your way ... I also wanted to thank you all for the love & support that I have received this year regarding my writing, blog, poetry and photography. I appreciate all the comments, more than you know. As a writer of a blog, you are unsure of who is reading week after week, and when people come out and say, "I have been reading for awhile but I have never posted ..." this makes my heart sing. Thank you to all my new friends that I have connected with, your support has meant everything to me. Where are you headed to spend Christmas? 

I decided to speak of my favorite painter of "Light", Thomas Kinkade for today's post. I love every painting this man has created. He has just the right angles, correct lighting,  the most beautiful scenes for all of us to enjoy. I recently watched THOMAS KINKADE: THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoping you take the time during this holiday season to enjoy a Christmas movie like this one. Do you have a favorite artist? painter? musician? actor? And why? 

Thinking back of a conversation that Jeanette House posed a few days back ~ I spent some quality time  choosing a word ~  My word for 2012 is "CREATE".  I hope to really push my limits this year in the creative department. I hope to expand my writing (collaborating with more artists), broaden my photography with more thought provoking photographs etc.  If you look at the New Year ahead, what is "Your Word"?

In the Spirit of Holiday Week ~ I came across this photo and started thinking of Christmas Music ... I love the song White Christmas ... I also love Little Drummer Boy but I think my favorite is Baby, It's Cold Outside ... This is an older song, but everytime I hear it - I find myself smiling - I am one of those people who enjoy Christmas Music, in general. What is your favorite holiday song?
