Walter was my Dad’s name, my grandfather’s name, a son’s middle name, a cousin’s name and now a Grandson’s name. Yes, and Walt Disney’s too! I am grateful to all of them. They have all enriched my life.
The Women in my life. From my mom, sister, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, teachers, Girl Scout leaders, mothers of my friends, to my women friends, you are dear to me, and you are diverse and have added to my life experiences is a very rich way.
Winters have not been my favorite seasons, but I am a winter baby. My mom barely made it to the hospital, I was born right after a winter blizzard. I was a teacher and so, we had many family winter vacations to skiing country. I was never a good skier, but watching our sons come down the mountains gave me a thrill and I can still see them in my mind. Nature needs winters to rest, to kill off mosquitoes and snowflakes are pretty spectacular! Capricorn is a winter sign, and my mother, three of my grandchildren and one grandmother were or are Capricorns. So, I have connections with winter, and grateful for them.
