Sunday morning sparkle

On Sunday morning, reversing the route that we had driven through blinding snow just a few hours before was beautiful ... sparkling snow, bright blue sky and peaks playing peek-a-boo through the wispy clouds! Sitting in silence in meeting for worship, thinking back about the years in which I have felt driven by obligations and appointments, I'm so glad to have reached a different state of mind. I still have obligations and appointments, but I do take time to smell the roses. Or, to adjust to the season ... Delight in the sparkle!

Delight was definitely part of the experience in the afternoon, too, when Sandy and I caught the matinee performance of the Mancos Valley Chorus Christmas program. They do such a good job, and they have such fun! It was standing room only, as I imagine their other two performances will be, too. I was sad to hear that the Cortez Choralaires had folded after so many decades of singing together, but it was nice to see a few folks from that group had decided to pursue their love of community singing with the Mancos Valley Chorus, under the sparkly professional direction of Kriss Larsen.

May not post to this blog for a few days ... gotta get ready for the upcoming trip. Still got lots of people to see about sponsorships for the Mancos Mush, too. Saturday night's snow certainly boosted visions of dog sleds gliding over the snow! TV
