Nine days 'till Christmas--Snow


Blanket of memories, 5 by 7 watercolor, card
As snow often blankets a busy, noisy world into a landscape of stillness and quiet, consider that our best memories of this season called Christmas are like a warm, comforting blanket.  
Like solitude on the Great Plains, underneath a big sky, as the flakes come down, you pause and enjoy. Are not our  favorite memories the same, transforming our mindscapes, softening the edges and unhappiness of the past with beauty and calm when we need it most?
