To my WP friends the world over, those who celebrate and those who do not, know that you have enriched my life. May the blessings of health, contentment, and peace be yours.

Peaceful
The days after Christmas are some of my favorite. The hustle and bustle have settled down, yet the lights and tree are still up.
So while I get back into the routine of work, after a 4 day weekend, I have the pleasure of coming home to lights, still softly shining in my home.
(after hitting publish, I found out that this post is my 400th!)
Chrome for the Holidays
Clever title, eh? Since the bike has been absent from the blog for several weeks, I decided it should be front and center for Christmas.
May your holiday be full of laughter and joy, and find you surrounded by the love of family and friends.
As we open our hearts and arms to those in need, may our roads be dry, our travels safe, and our adventures abundant.
Peace to you, my blogging friends, no matter what holiday you celebrate.
Kindness in the WordPress World
The great wide world of WordPress is filled with talented, creative people.
Some put words to paper that inspire me, make me think, and bring a tear to the eye. Others fill my screen with photographic images that are so visionary and incredible that I exclaim out loud. History and humor are found here, too, as are recipes, travel tips, gardening ideas, and of course, motorcycles!
And then there are the crafty ones.
The ones who spend hours using their creative spirits and their hands to make items that have the rest of us wondering how they do it. The quilters, painters, scrapbookers, knitters, crocheters, candymakers, and artists of every sort.
Since beginning my blogging journey with WP, I’ve been blessed to be the recipient of valuable friendships, and gifts of photography, handmade cards, folded books, t-shirts, and most recently a chrocheted bunting, which arrived all the way from Australia! Incredible! How on earth did Dani from Teddy and Tottie find the time to make so many festive buntings and then to mail them to friends all over the world?
How did she know that, because of family, work, and civic commitments, I have not yet put even one Christmas decoration out? How did she know that her gift of time and kindness would be so welcome in my home.
Thank you, Dani. You are, in addition to being talented, a kind and generous woman.
These gifts, and the people who make them, inspire me to up my game! I frequently read blog updates where one blogger is sending gifts to another. Their planning and organization is impressive; the generosity incredible. You all know who you are.
You inspire me.
Feeling the Holiday Spirit
It had been a busy day in the office, but the staff found time to put up the Christmas Tree and to add some pretty lights to the waiting room. I was the last one out at the end of the day and as I prepared to walk out the door, I had to stop and admire the decorations.
The lights on the tree cast a soft reflection on the glass of the window.
The building was quietly empty and a soft rain was falling outside,
and the cars passing by on the highway added to the glow in the window.
And suddenly, I was feeling the holiday spirit.
