I heard the bells.....
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild...and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Song from a timely email a few days ago. Our prayers and love go out to those in CT.

Bah humbug?
Having a tough time this year getting the Christmas decorations up. It's always wait until after remembrance day, then for Sarah's birthday.... And now it's December 12 and the tree is still sitting up in the garage rafters. Maybe is because I've been busy with work, choir, schooling, kids, various viruses around the house and keeping up with the day to day. Add on to that, broken washer, dead car, G's new 6 day work week and there is nothing left in my energy bank. On a plus- Christmas shopping is completed and well within the set out budget.
Today sounds like a good day to acquire a coffee table sized tree (after I go to the doctors first) and I'll set it out for the girls, we'll play some Christmas music and make tea and they can decorate. The Christmas bins can stay as they are in the garage, this Christmas is going to be simple.

Wisdom
A Sunday school teacher from my childhood taught a verse that pops into my thoughts often.
Be very careful then, how you live. Not as unwise, but as wise.
Wisdom comes in many ways, these words define many life choices and I hold them dear. My hope is to instill wisdom and the desire to seek wise advice and choices for my girls.
I have a brass wise owl on my kitchen window sill that a dear friend gave to me, it reminds me daily of her and to make wise choices.

Hola.
Starting something a bit more personal and private than facebook. Not overly impressed with how things are changing on there, how advertisements are popping up, how the inevitable miscommunication of a forget to *like* becomes unwanted drama, how privacy is really not private and how I miss actually *hearing* from friends and family. I have been reminded of what a wonderful circle that surrounds me, who my true friends are and that family is the backbone to survival. My goal for the new year is to write more personal emails, pick up the phone more often and to hand write at least one letter a month... so don't be surprised is you receive one. Days off will be spent having lots of learning fun with those that I love, more deliberate times with my friends and soaking in the moments that are such sparkly jewels in the 'every day'.
October was a month full of wonderful moments, I hope to recapture some of the day-to-day dealings of 4 princess with you as this blog progresses. I'll start at the beginning of my daily circle, it expands from these 5 people that teach me new things, almost every moment. This weekend was filled with moments of Songs and Soccer (Katelyn Melody), Art (Sarah), Gymnastics (Auria and Danielle), yummy family dinners with funny movies (Mama and Papa) and of course always lots of laughs with Uncle Danjr (pronounced 'danger'). I have promised myself that I will take more pictures, sing more songs and keep a focus on eating well and deliberate exercise with my girls. So feel free to follow along, enjoy our journey and be sure to share your moments too!
