 A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me. |
| I received a wonderfully-bound, hardcover book from my son-in-law and his fiancee, Mark and Candice, for Christmas. It contained most of my Writing.Com Blog entries and many stories found in my Portfolio. What an unexpected surprise! Jeanette's family decided years ago that buying gifts for everyone was anything but equitable. So, we decided on stocking stuffer items. Indeed, our stockings are rather large and suitable for some ingenious items. However, my book did not fit in the stocking, which had been hung by the fireplace with care. I looked at the cover. In bold print were the words: From My Mind To .... For a moment I couldn't place the words. Then, it hit me. Those words ... were the title of my WDC Blog. I was speechless! The book is not numbered but easily contains 100 pages. My words and works lay neatly on both sides of each heavier-stock page. Mark actually joined WDC so he and Candice could get the material needed for the publisher. I was so stunned at their efforts, I neglected to ask him if he was going to remain a member. I'll have to work on that. Candice admitted to tearing up over a couple of stories, something every author never tires of hearing. I've a feeling this is the one gift I will remember for many years to come. And with that, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to anyone and everyone who stops by my Port. |
