Welcome

Welcome
Seeing as my current location is lovely Japan I thought a little kanji was only fitting

Dragons

Today I got my first piece of mail since arriving in Japan! It was a drawing from my nephew Domi-his Momma wrote that it was a very important and he wanted sent right away :-) It sure made my day, I now have a fabulous picture of a fire-breathing dragon above my work desk...
Speaking of fire, I ran across this in my reading in the morning and the words have stayed with me throughout the day:
"Et in meditatione mea exardescit ignis" - "And un my meditation a fire shall flame up" Thats why you go to prayer: to become a blaze, a living flame giving heat and light.-Josemaria Escriva

On another topic entirely, I spent my evening packing up a box for Christmas to be sent home to the family. I had so much fun with it all, almost too much fun because the most challenging part was closing the box! I confess I couldn't resist turning on Dean Martin Christmas carols, turning up the AC and making some hot coco...felt a little crazy till I took that first sip of pepperminty chocolate, a night well spent.
