Reflecting

It's Christmas Eve and I am busy wrapping presents for my six children and six grandchildren. We had some much needed rain overnight and I am hoping more is on the way, here in thirsty California.

Life is far too short. Another old friend of mine died this morning, in Berkeley.

As I package up these gifts, which I hope will bring some joy to the 12, I am also thinking about how to best pass on family legacies, such as the things my parents left me.

I do not want it to seem odd but I think I would like to give each of my kids a piece of woodwork tomorrow from my Dad. They are boxes and candlesticks.

What do you think?
