This morning, the sun rose behind the mountain turning the sky orange and I had a flashback to one morning in Eilat, Israel, where the sun rising behind the Jordanian range had turned the whole sky blood red. I still have those slides somewhere. Beautiful stuff.
The World Vision Christmas Catalogue reminds us that "Pigs make plump and perfect presents". I had never thought of that. I suppose saying "Plump pigs can be turned into delicious bacon" would be hurting the sensibilities of the benefactors, but I think that's the general idea.
When you're put on the spot, and questioned, and watched, and doubted, it can prove to be pretty destabilizing. The support I get from my friends these days is incredibly precious. They have my back, they support me, they're on my side and I am SO grateful for that.
Please don't send me a "plump and perfect present" for Christmas. They're hell to package adequately and they’re very noisy under the Christmas tree.
And smelly... But at least it's easy to pig' which present to open first... Sorry, I have a lit of a cold... ;-)
