Color my world...white.

The snow switch has been flipped; my world has turned white with Lake effect snow; light, fluffy, beautiful. Weather keeps life interesting. The seasons help me find a rythm I never experienced growing up in SoCal. It's refreshing. Life slows down; relationships breath deeply & gain strength by growing deeper roots, becoming more initimate and real. I wouldn't change a thing, even if I could.

Freedom isn't free.

December 7, 1941. 2400 dead. 1200 wounded. 18 US Ships and 300 planes destoryed or damaged.

"A date that will live in infamy" President Roosevelt
"I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and instilled in him a terrible resolve." Admiral Yamamoto

Both men were right and the world was rescued from an Axis of evil, but not before millions lost their lives. Freedom isn't free.
