In Loving Memory

Simply,

I want to honor today,
all who
have now left this life.

I want to comfort today,
all who
have been left behind.

I want to remember today,
all who
have made those connections with
other living beings,
that are not easily forgotten.

Connections that are the
woven threads of the joyful blanket of life.

In Loving Memory,
of yours, of mine of ours...

I light a candle for them,
that they may find their way into the
heavens.

I light a candle for us,
that we may find the life force that
caused us to enjoy them so much while they were here.

Moving forward,
Tho' perhaps not yet moving on,
Taking small steps to the joy that they taught us to have,
Tho' they may not be right here to share it with us...
By the nature of our love,
We can be assured that they would want us to live in joy.

Brightest Blessings, Love & Light,
GypsyOwl

NaNoWriMo WINNER!

This is the first year I have participated in the nanowrimo.org challenge. I am delighted to say that I WON! I am sitting on my couch looking at the 50,746 words that qualified my winner's certificate. I should be celebrating with a nap or some enjoyable activity on this suddenly cold and rainy day. Yet instead, I want to write another chapter. Seems that after getting over a hurdle in the story, now I am sitting here with a lot of loose ends in the plot.

So I will save the celebration for the weekend and wrap up some of those loose ends that shouldn't have to wait for a sequel to be solved. I will also be working on a course project for class and making plans to get this wonderful manuscript published as soon as possible so that I can share it with you.

Happiest December to everyone!
