Life is a puzzle
Each year a new piece to add
Makes a whole picture.
Art Prescription: And it’s always a work of art…each new day…each new year.

Soft Landing December 28, 2016
All you can hear is
The soft patter as snow lands
Sea of frozen white.
Art Prescription: We did not have a white Christmas. In fact it has been around 70 degrees. Cool nights, warm days…kind-of North Carolina!

Could be anywhere
Bright lights, crowds, music, and yet
Right now I’m so here!
Art Prescription: Know what you need. Now…honor that. Simple.

Secret Santa December 23, 2016
One horse open sleigh
O’re the hills, Secret Santa
Dashing through the snow.
Art Prescription: So my horse Finn, today, told it like it is! Santa used to go about his big night with a huge horse-drawn sleigh. But the neigh- sayers and disbelievers said, “Flying horses? Next thing you will believe in Unicorns!” So Santa down-sized to reindeers, who were much lighter on the foot. A bonus up on roof-tops!
But, Finn tells me that the eve before Christmas Eve…Santa likes to venture out with his herd! It is truly a silent night, where horse’s hooves jingle, sending magic sparkles like fireworks across the land.
Finn says Santa landed on the barn and left an ornament for each horse beside their bridles.
After such excitement, the horses lazily returned to their hay…Secret Santa intact.

Dogs in Cars December 18, 2016
Looks like passenger
Dogs in cars, head out window
Or wet nose on glass.
Art Prescription: It tickles me to see dogs in cars. They are such exuberant riders…so excited to be going anywhere…just happy to be with their owner.
