The peace and the quiet




These days I'm praying for a peaceful and quiet ending to 2009. This year could have been (and, who knows? could still be) worse than it started. But, so far, it hasn't been worse, even though it gave my husband and me enough scares and heartbreak to earn its place in the pantheon of infamous years.

Mostly, I pray that the year ends with no further disruptions to my or my loved ones' health. In the spirit of gratitude and hope, here are some recent shots of my furry children (yes, this time Lizzy didn't monopolize the camera). May their relaxed and peaceful poses (well, Lizzy looks a little worried that I'm going to kick her out of the bed) bode well for the way in which this difficult year will conclude.
