A Child is Born

December 20, 2015 by redtreetimes

Norman Rockwell Tiny Tim I am taking a short hiatus from writing the blog just to recharge a bit. This has been a part of my day for over seven years now and I have tried to put out something every day. But I am a little run down at the moment , a little depleted. I need a short break and figure this time around the holidays is the right time to put the blog on hold. Maybe for a week or two. Maybe more. Maybe less.

Who knows? Nothing is written in stone and I might feel like I have something to say tomorrow or next week.

Or not.

Regardless, I send out many thanks to those who check in here regularly as well as my warmest wishes for happy holidays everyone. Here’s hoping the New Year is a peaceful one. May Tiny Tim’s wish come to be.

So for this Sunday’s musical selection I have chosen a holiday selection. It’s a beautiful version of the traditional A Child is Born done by the the late jazz great Thad Jones with the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra.

Have a great Sunday and a great holiday. I’ll be back soon…

There are rhythms to life and rhythms to creating. There’s great wisdom in lying fallow from time to time. Here’s to a truly happy new year, filled with creativity. Merry Christmas!

I enjoy your writings as much as your paintings and also love the variety of music selections that you choose. Your insights have given me lots of things to ponder. Happy, healthy and peaceful 2016!
