As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me, the power of God uphold me, the wisdom of God guide me. May the eye of God look before me, the ear of God hear me, the word of God speak for me. May the hand of God protect me, the way of God lie before me, the shield of God defend me, the host of God save me. May Christ shield me today. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit, Christ when I stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me,Christ in every ear that hears me. ~ St. Patrick

Did you watch the sunrise this morning? The days just start off different when I take time to do my morning walks into the sunrise.

Hello everyone, I'm Pinkett. Thank you for the approval to be part of this wonderful family.

We had a wonderful day gathering at our oldest daughter’s home. Every year I have intentions of slowing down - be more present - and then the December calendar fills up so quickly - violin performances at Christmas Bazaar, Senior Connection, performing with the ballet, piano recital, caroling at nursing home - all wonderful opportunities to share the gift of music. But I treasure the quiet morning walks - or unplanned stops on the way home to observe the changes of the seasons and the beautiful sunsets. Looking forward to days getting longer!
