Merry Christmas

Seven Days

These seven days before Christmas are when I mow

the back section of the ranch. Wide open land

and Handel's Messiah on the radio seem to get me in the

spirit. Long days on a tractor also give me plenty of time

for reflection. I will think of Christmas past celebrated with family,

friends and animals no longer here. I loved them all.  I will think about 

all the parents making great personal sacrifice to insure their

children have presents under the tree then contrast that with
 friends that have been blessed with a bountiful life. I will think
about certain people who have the spirit of giving all
year round then contrast that with my occasional random acts of
kindness. I will think about all the people, and animals, I have met
on Blogger and wish them joy and peace and time.... to reflect.

Klaus Badelt, Master of Crescendo

The songs included in this clip are part of the original soundtrack from the Asian

film "The Promise".  Even if you are not a big fan of Chinese films, this soundtrack

by Klaus Badelt is brilliant. Forget about all the flying around, unless of course you
are into that.
