It’s been a good year for good stuff online, and it ends well. Shawn Smucker has a good story that’s a reminder for fathers. Kathy Richards has something to say about all those Christmas gifts. Dave Wheeler writes a psalm. Tim Good has some spectacular photographs “form his desk.” T.S. Eliot reads about the magi. And much, much more.
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteThank you for including my poem here and for bringing such a wealth of good writing to everyone's attention. You should be in your own lists more often.
Wishing you all the joys of the season and much continuing writing success. Happy New Year, Glynn!
I was thinking about your Saturday reads and Maureen's sharings this morning and it struck me that both of you have brought amazing wonder and joy to my world through your sharing -- and I am grateful.
