The Bag Lady

The scene is serene, a holiday worthy only of Mother Nature who chooses to decorate an already breathless view with frosted elegance. Some may consider this a hindrance, an inconvenient product of a climate shift, but I choose to sit back and take it in as a gift.

“Serena” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper is my choice this week.

Serena is a 2014 drama film based on the 2008 novel of the same name by American author Ron Rash.^[4] Directed by Susanne Bier, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper as newlyweds running a timber business in 1930s North Carolina.

The drifting flow of icy islands linger, caught on a half submerged root, causing them to stop for a moment till a larger chunk passes them down the stream. Watching this fray of nature, always moving, trembling from a draft of wind is a pleasure.

These natural motions may cast a spell of adventure on a child, as his snowy boots rashly chase his sailing boat of ice. I feel it is a sign of how the world could be a better place if it was envisioned through a child’s eye.

You never know what floats their boat

It might not be so typical

Greet with a warm smile anyway,

It may just be reciprocal!

You can raise or lower your expectations

As you think about your invitations

To all the holiday events and fun

You can choose to celebrate

A new year or mourn the old one

But every year includes some redemption

Be mindful of each of those exceptions.

Well good morning and who woke up at four and is just now having coffee at five? Me🙄 It’s a balmy 9F degrees and snowing. It’s still pitch black but the snow lit up my room last night. The fam is in Rock Springs at a basketball tournament – it’s 12F degrees there but not snowing yet. I hope the roads are clear and they don’t get stuck like last weekend with 100+ mph winds and roads closed.

My granddaughter is a freshman but gets to play because she is one of those “naturals” in athletics. People always say she’s a natural but it’s dedication, hard work and practice. She has either been watching or playing since three years old, and loves it.

This is stream of consciousness so there you have my stream this cold early Saturday. Opposites—well let me think…the opposite of having cold feet is these thick warm slipper socks😂 and a good amount of practice, practice, practice.

I very much enjoyed this one and it’s sequel. It’s “Red” starring many familiar favorite actors.
