Over the weekend, we noticed Robert’s older cat Boopers was having difficulty breathing.

And Sunday, Christmas Day, he was worse.
So Monday morn, HR dropped Boopers off at the vet. We went for breakfast and then got the call that Boopers was probably not going to make it much longer. Robert was shocked. We headed quickly back to the vet, only to be told the moment we walked in that Boopers was crashing. And then, that he had passed away.
Robert got to hold his beloved kitty one final time.


A few Boopers pics from the past.

With brother Benny …





The older I get, the more I like pictures like this that Robert took today at our hiking outing at beautiful Wormsloe Historic Site just outside Savannah.

See? The emphasis is on the early evening light falling on the old cast-iron fence. And NOT on my now-completely white hair or deepening wrinkles.




Marveling! Over our quiet and simple, but delicious Christmas evening meal that Robert and I savored last night.

Christmas Day Peace and Love
If Truth be told, Christmas Day (and really every other day), should be about the one Force which has the potential to hold our lives and our world joyfully together …








May your Christmas Day be heaped and warmed with that which you consider Good.

Christmas Eve Peace
Weary travelers, from long ago, making their journey to Bethlehem.

I invite you to take a moment (well, one minute and thirty seconds to be exact) snd enjoy this sweet and peaceful little Christmas meditation.
(The video is actually a beautiful virtual Christmas card I received last year from a friend.)


May the Very Merriest of Christmases flow your way!
