the alpha

Still struggling with a nasty cold from visiting the grandkids. So instead of going for an afternoon walk, I took an afternoon nap. Hence an indoor blip. This is the glass bear that my mom kept on her desk in my parents' bedroom as I was growing up, and ultimately the piece that began my glass menagerie. She knew how I would sneak into their room just to look at it, so when I grew up and moved into a place of my own she gave it to me as a housewarming gift. And it still warms my heart when I look at it.
