Well, Christmas is come and gone, my 12 year old sang again at mass, as she always does and it was beautiful. The residual affects do linger of the holiday (as in cold seasonal beer and left over gravy and turkey ) from all the tears from sons and daughters leaving, with all the sad goodbyes, while looking forward to next year with high hopes to longevity, good health and prosperity! and in hopes and prayers for the "Blessed gift" of doing it once more this time next year...

happy new year to all my friends hear at the V.D.F.
