Hi angel friends :) Sending lots of love, and big warm caring friendship hugs, from our hearts, and home to yours :) my family, Holly, and i are thinking of you all, and we hope everyone is having a peaceful day, as we blossom into the new week :) We're having a peaceful day at home, finding some comforts, in simple joys, like writing, nature, and looking forward to the upcoming superbowl :) Holly and i have the superbowl sports talk radio on, and hanging out today :) i've been doing some writing today, cards, and wrote a new letter, for our dear friend Judy (LivingWater) :) i love blossoming into some nice quality writing time :) It's very special to my heart, having the writing time, and also enjoying some sunrise nature this morning, as the birds were soaring over, and the sky was glowing :) a peaceful way to blossom into the new week :)
i love to write with my spirit, and love to write with my heart :) my journals, vary at times, when it comes to my writings. i love to write, and sharing our days. my heart is writing today, as it's reflecting back upon the past 24 hours. somethings, it can feel like we're at a loss for words, when such times and days like yesterday happened. the awful and very sad, tragedy, Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and others, passing away in the helicopter crash. our hearts, thoughts, and prayers, go out to all of the victims family's, friends, loved ones as we grieve the loss of those who passed. it's very tragic, and hit my heart hard, as i grew up watching NBA basketball, so many of Kobe's games. it's hard to believe, what happened. very sad, and stunned disbelief is how my heart feels. my family, Holly, friends, and i have been talking about it, it's on the news, and sports radio too. our local news this morning, showed some tributes, including a segment about how in recent years, Kobe and his daughter, traveled here to Connecticut to watch the Uconn Lady Huskies basketball games, and were close with the team.
yesterday's news of the tragedy, it's something, that you'll always remember, where you were, when the news broke. it affected the hearts of millions, around the world. the family's, of the victims need our prayers, and will need lots of love, care, support, surrounding them. we've been watching some of the coverage, of NBA stars, and former NBA stars, talking on the news, and sharing stories, memories, and tributes. i can't even begin to describe how important basketball was, when i was growing up, and how much it meant to my life. from my early days of playing basketball with my friends, when i was a kid, and watching basketball with my dad. sports brings comfort, and can help people make it through tough days, and times. i remember us all at times, pretending to be NBA stars while we were playing basketball in our driveway. the all time greats, and kobe was definitely one of those all time greats players, that you wished to play basketball like. a legend of legends, and will forever greatly be missed. it's just hard to believe, what happened. our thoughts, prayers, hearts, are with the family's, of those who were tragically lost in the crash. wishing them as much comfort, and peace as possible, and their hearts to be forever surrounded by love, care, and support.
Life is very special, and precious. every day, truly is a gift, and a blessing, sharing in experiences of life, times with family, friends. it's truly what makes life very special, and remembering those who have passed over the years, keeping their loving memories alive in our hearts. my family, Holly, and i are so thankful and blessed to have you all in our lives, to share very special friendships across the miles, and being able to share in all times, whether it's times when we experience happiness, sadness, rough, good times, uplifting eachother, and helping eachother get our balance with days. there's all kinds of times, and days, that are different, and we all face the days together, sharing in the times. We hope and pray, for much peace, and comfort, for all of the family's affected by yesterday's very sad tragedy. we're all human, and these tragedies are felt by so many, all over the world, people who can relate to every day life, and when tragedies that happen, it hits the heart, and the emotions are felt. the superbowl is right around the corner now, and i think the superbowl sunday, and the big game, will serve as, and help as, a special comfort, for the sports world, and everyone affected by yesterday's tragedy. sports can be healing, and can bring so many together, in a special way of healing, and comfort. These writings, from my heart are dedicated in loving memory, of Kobe, his daughter, and everyone lost, in yesterday's tragic accident. their loving memories will live on

Good morning Chris and Holly So much has happened in the last few days with the passing of Kobe and his daughter and all the others on the helicopter. It just goes to show us all how precious life is and how we need to relish every hour we have with loved ones because you never know when tragedy is going to strike. My parents were killed on the way to my mother's birthday party in a terrible car accident along with my little brother. Life is so precious and so is family. That is why I so enjoy when you write about all the traditions that you and your family have, like celebrating birthdays and spending time together on the holidays. I love hearing about the Baking Fridays with your little nephews because those are the times that everyone will remember down the road. I guess the terrible tragedy of this week makes all appreciate our families just a little bit more.
I love the nature pictures. The pheasants were at the bird feeder this morning. They were so pretty. We love it when they visit the feeder. The males are so pretty and we can't wait until spring when the females will hatch little ones. We are so excited and looking forward to spring with all the nature around us. The doves and blue jays and cardinals were at the feeders this morning as well. The cardinals were so pretty and are so red right now. They really stick out from the rest of the birds.
Mya and Allie are both sleeping on the floor right beside me. They are starting to get cabin fever and can't wait for spring as well so they can get outside and play. They don't like the cold. They are both getting old and you can see the difference in them. Once spring gets here and they can be outside, I know they will be more energetic.
Got to run for now. Hope you have a great Tuesday. Hugs--John Debbie Mya and Allie
