Random New Years Eve Thought

Has anyone ever been curious about the Tree of Life? Well I have. While doing some research I have noticed that just about every country has their own meaning behind the Tree of Life. Well my thought on the Tree of Life besides the obvious, that being that it is beautiful, is that I can see why there are so many meanings.

Well my meaning is a simplistic one. I believe that the roots of the tree are our beginning from birth, to our early years such as childhood up to the ending of the teen years. Boy does that cover a lot lol. Then there is the trunk. The trunk is big and strong and holds things together. This is where things become clearer to us and our futures and careers are shaped. So much goes on and many years are covered in this section. Then there are the branches that weren't so strong that broke and landed on the ground. What do they symbolize? They symbolize the lessons we have learned along the way of this journey called life. They are some friends that we may have cherished and lost along the way, family members who are no longer with us, relationships that were once great that are no longer. They are those opportunities you didn't seize they are the past but, they are memories that you will always have whether good or bad. Then there are the branches that are strong and still apart of the tree. Those are the new ties, new bonds, new relationships, new friends, new opportunities. They are all things that continue to nurture us on our journey of life. They are also the lasting imprint that we will leave for all to remember us by. I am going to try in any free time to do a little more research on the tree of life but, one thing is for sure I am happy with my description of what the tree of life holds for me.

Above are two pics of the Tree of Life.

Peeved

Okay, once again it is on its way to reac havoc amongst those of us who live in good ole Massachusetts. The white cold stuff another 3 to 6 inches due here tomorrow. What the hell. I wanna be dropped on an island over looking the beach with a comfy hammock. Anyone interested in getting me to this destination may contact me ASAP. LOL. As many of you know we got dumped with 16 inches yes I said 16 did not studder did not miss a beat of the crappy white stuff about two weeks ago. AWWWW but its so pretty, NOT. Okay maybe the first or two but then enough is enough. Okay enough ranting and raving about the unpleasantness of New England life in the winter. The pics are from the first snowstorm that hit us with 16 inches and then the other two pics are of some area lights and displays in local neighborhoods.

Sunset from the other Night

I will try and come up with a poem or haiku for these absolutely beautiful sunset pics!

Happy New Years

Just want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe New years! Mine will be very low key. The kids usually have friends over. I made a confetti ball and got them 2008 paper eyeglasses and noisemakers last year and ofcourse goodies and we rented some movies. I think this year will probably be the same. So whatever it is that you all do to have fun remember moderation, don't let friends drive drunk, designated driver, and Welcome 2009!!!

Late A sunday Scribblings Prompt

Late

Where can I be

I was on my way

one sign leading me here

the other leading me there.

Help me

I left in the day

I thought I was near

the question now is do I dare

to turn there or where?

Today was a day

I thought I knew my way

at this rate

I will be late!

Okay not sure if I have mentioned it before or not but, if I have again I am going to repeat myself which is nothing new in the day and the life of a mom. So here goes. The girls decided we are going to do a three color tree theme next year. The colors picked are Pink, Purple and Blue. So today we went out and got a little head start on some cool ornaments. For the pink catagory we got a brite pink VW Bug that Lexi picked. I have always wanted one of those cars lol. Then for Ryan we picked out a snowman decked out in his New England Patriots gear, we got some cool purplish looking disco type beaded garland, and then I picked out a rustic looking snowmen with a purple tint. Also got a Santa key which will not be on the tree but will be placed by the cookies and milk.

Now for the people who are not familiar with the legend of the pickle. The legend of the pickle basically originated in Germany. They used to hide the pickle within the bows of the tree and the person to find it was the most observant and would recieve and extra present. Well Lexi found it. So I gave her five dollars. So when we were out shopping she took her five dollars and bought a new white webkinz kitty.
