TODAY'S PHOTO -
Great Blue Heron in Wakodahatchee Wetlands

This photo was taken in March and the fineness of the white feathers are, I believe, breeding plumeage. I selected this photo for today for the peacefulness of the water and the looking forward-into-the-future posture that the bird seems to be taking.

This is the eve on our Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashana where we start a New Year, with the next 10 days being a period of atoning for our sins against ourselves and others.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES
-
Oftentimes in issues of Picture to Ponder I speak of acknowledging people in our lives, letting them know the differences they have made for us.

As I reflect on our Holiday now, I invite you to look and see if there are people in your life with whom you have had interactions for which you might wish to be forgiven. Always a good practice, I invite you to take it on, if your answer was "yes".

As we eat our holiday meals, we say a prayer for a sweet year. I ask that for all of us.


AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from Sondra,

who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing of her father done by me?

Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee Kleckner on our AUDIO LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if you are person of a few words.

I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on the testimonial page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish, e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way you in and simply listen while you talk.
