Rachel's Meditation
Rachel is the name of my darling, most beloved Aunt, and with whom I speak by telephone on almost a daily basis, but always, constantly, through my mind and heart. She is far away in miles, a recent but necessary relocation. It is the first time in my life that I've lived more than just minutes away from her, and I miss her terribly.
So tonight, I serendipitously found these soothing words courtesy of Jane Cather through her amazing web site www.janecather.com, and I truly hope Jane does not mind that I’ve borrowed them for awhile, as they describe exactly what my Auntie Rachel’s love and energy mean to me.

Rachel's Meditation
The energy of my garden plants can support my body. I can lie down on this energy bed just above the plants. As I look down into the plant bed I begin to heal.

Going through old photographs and sitting here amidst a million wonderful memories, as I listen to Christmas carols......oh wait..........I'm missing the hot Chocolate, or should I make it a Hot Toddy???? Either, or, ~ ideal, considering the fact that it is 50 degrees or below here in sunny south FLorida........yikes!!!! I love it.
It totally gets me into the holiday spirit as is evident here in this photo of my little girl, taken in 1976, and a scan of an embroidered piece I've been working on today - a copy of her first letter to Santa, written by Stacey herself in 1978. She was barely four years old and so was still confusing her N's and M's. Sorry Santa.
Now ready to embellish!!!Today she's a mommy encouraging her own child to write his first Christmas letter. The only difference is...... his list is already TWO pages long!!!!
my minds eye
"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth -- and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. ... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henryand then the light went on!!!
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily...Plato
Words to live by
"I have been absolutely terrified of every moment of my life, and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do" ~ Georgia O'Keefe
