ANAMNESIS (an-am-NEE-sis):
The recollection or remembrance of the past.
*************
So I figured I might as well throw my hat in the ring -- I'm rather fond of the one with the Norwegian print and knitted tie-strings that come down on either side of my head like braids -- and knock out a quick Top 10 List to recap my year in pictures. Actually, I'm forced to take that route as I can't clearly remember the past 365 days without the aid of my extensive digital photo library! Thank the dear Lord for iPhoto on the Mac. I only wish you could see the photographic spread on the television-sized screen I'm presently using; it does the pictures justice.
Without further adieu . . .

#10. It snowed in January. |
Quite a bit for our area.
Even the grownups had a blast!
#9. The annual Polar Bear Plunge at Sports Com
And it was SCREAMIN' cold!
Did I mention SCREAMIN' cold? Frigid? Brr?
(There's that hat I was talking about.)
#8. Time with my Earth Divas
They keep me grounded.
Grounded in laughter.
Grounded in togetherness.
Grounded in punging wind . . .
Grounded in my just desserts!
Grounded in a higher power.
#7. My Home Church -- Church at Cross Point
(Pastor Rodney: I just call him Rodney.)
With our lovely ladies.
Always ready with a smile.
Keeping the place organized.
With a little help from familiar male faces . . .
Where even the youth earn their keep . . .
Our friendly menfolk.
Our dedicated, earth-friendly musicians.
And who can resist our babies?
With cherubic faces like this one?!!!
Where Spanish and English make joyful noise!
The Message is tried and true.
And so is the food!
And did I mention our pastor and the babies?
Phew! This task isn't nearly as quick a deal as I initially thought. Bu-u-u-t, I plowed my way through four of the ten. That's gotta count for something. Right? Sigh. Yes, it does. It counts for exactly FOUR outta TEN of the many wonderful moments, events, places, people, etc. in my one single human life. I've not given up on the other six. But they're gonna have to make their appearance in the new year. It's after 7PM on New Year's Eve. Those drinks and snacks ain't gonna make themselves, now, are they?
Until tomorrow, you have yourself a safe and enjoyable evening. However you choose to celebrate. And perhaps you might want to mull over your own top ten, with or without digital illustrations. Perhaps you'll be be as surprised as I was at just how much you've done this year. How many people you've touched. Oh, and how often you had delightfully rich and tasty desserts in divine coffee shops in and around Middle Tennessee!
Prospero Ano.
