Christmas Visitings

My little kittie by the window this morning while I was having coffee in the living room. We had two deers staring inside the house. It was so nice!

Found on the mug that was given to me by HEU. This part of it represents the mountains of BC and the Calgary skyline.

Our friends Paul and Michael visiting.

The Elko Mall. Hahaha.

photos from my celphone

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: Something about today that felt so wonderful. I feel very happy.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: The tree looks small but this tree was at least 9 stories high.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: Ron

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: This was how deep the snow was in some areas of the trail we walked that afternoon.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: Ron's walking stick

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: It was the sunshine this afternoon that made me feel sooo good. I love the sun.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: I also got to see the blue sky today.. Oh just beautiful..When the sun hit the snow, the ground looked like jewels shining.. It was soo pretty.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: I wish the glistening snow were captured by the camera but it just doesn't show in the picture.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: our shadows. So wonderful walking and talking about things. what a lovely day it was.

December 4, 2010 - Saturday: After going out for a walk with Ron this afternoon and seeing how beautiful it was outside with all the snow and the sun allowing for some blue in the sky, I felt so Inspired I just had to put the Christmas tree up while listening to Christmas music. The phone rang. My cousin Wita! We had so much fun chatting as I decorated the tree.

November 17, 2010 - Wednesday. 8AM Ron is off to work. In a way I'm grateful I don;t have to drive to work this morning. ahaha.

Later on today I had to drive to Fernie ofcorse... do some groceries... notice how tense I get? My face just shows it.

I had to drive slowly and safely. There was quite a bit of snow....

Cheezy chip dip: But I look at this and I feel yucky! Ewww all that fat!

I had Moment of Sadness

0ne afternoon, as I watched others.....

Growing old.... slowly losing bits and pieces of your self - transforming into an elderly being: no longer actively involved into mundane worries or concerns of the world and just fading away into a finality of death.

Perhaps their being old is their job. The purpose- to remind the rest of the world that should they live as long, they too will die.

Aging I guess is like Youth, it doesn't last long. It ends.

I really don't know what to feel right now. I'm neither sad or happy. It just seems so strange to be shown (once again - over and over) all these realities. I feel I have questions wanting answers - ironically, I don't know what they are. I'm stuck and I'm just going through the cycle not knowing. Is it supposed to be like this? It ends.

My mind wanders...

Death: I don't know for sure if there really is a finality to it. Do we really "die"? I don't think there is one human being who is credible enough to answer this question. If there is a person who has the credibility to answer, under what basis makes that person credible? What proof?
