it’s not what you think,
this winter shade; cold, blue light-
snowdrifts cast shadows

This last year, when my mother-in-law was in the hospital, she required 6 units of the red stuff. My dad needed several units as he battled heart issues. It’s the least I can do, to give back so others in need can have fresh blood. In memory of my Daddy and Carole, I’ve been making sure to visit and give after my 56 days of recovery are complete.
Join me? For a short time, with each blood donation, the Red Cross is giving each donor long-sleeved shirts, while supplies last. Got mine. Tell them Angie sent you. 😉
children dancing with
excitement for sugar, treats,
and presents galore
choirs singing with
exuberant heralding
joy for the season
bright stores bursting with
color, music, fanciful
hope for green year’s end
trees painted bright with
pointed stars, handmade baubles,
tall signature guest
churches fill with
the eager, the worshipful,
ones who seek the Babe
my heart blooms with peace
nostalgia and holy praise
for the Holy Gift
