Ever hear a song and get an instant flashback – to a place or time in your past? I heard a beautiful version of River the other day sung by Sarah McLachlan and whoosh – instantly it was this time 8 years ago. We were experiencing life in the Big Apple…living in a huge loft apartment in Brooklyn Heights and expecting our first child. There were the decorated Macy’s windows at Harold Square, snow flurries to make you believe it could be a White Christmas after all, and Christmas trees being sold on every other street corner. It was the joyous season of Christmas and I had never been more blue.
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
River by Joni Mitchell
You walk a lot in NY, especially when you have a big dog …
