I do pray that you all have a day filled with fun, laughter, good memory-makers, and an underlying sense of awe at the Gift given. However you celebrate, let thankfulness be at the core. No matter what anyone says or how we have distorted it, Christmas would not be around if we didn't have a Savior to celebrate!
Last night, I received a lot of hugs at church and it was good. Also good to be in the congregation instead of up with the choir...though I missed singing with them, I thoroughly enjoyed listening for a change! And it was wonderful. Though I admit to being sore and tired by the end (my port is bothering me when I am too busy in a day...muscular ache in my shoulder), it was good to be there. But, Bobby and I snuck out the side door to avoid going back through the crowd on the way out! I probably missed a bunch more hugs, but I'm learning my limits...catch you next time!
Last night we were chatting a little, Megan made a few encouraging comments about how I'm handling everything. She's a honey. Bobby made the observation that, since I still have my hair, in this year's and next year's videos of Christmas, I will have hair in both! Hadn't thought of that! It is definitely thinning, but not shave-worthy yet. Just thought that was a great way to look ahead at the result of all of this...
Thankful thoughts:
- A husband who is "Mr. Christmas". Couldn't do it without him
- Able helpers in my kitchen...I'm working myself out of a job!
- Kids that make me laugh...just fun to watch them!
- A cuddly cat that has been my constant companion while sleeping in this chair...yay, Clark.
- Calmed-down side effects to enjoy today.
- Naps with earplugs - VERY good!
- The joy of giving...feels so good.
Merry Christmas everyone! It's finally here!
