The gentleness of the post is soothing and reminds us to honor that which is sacred in our lives at all times. There are times when we need the music and reflection of the season to remember what it is all about.

Even worse than a C&E. Been like that the past couple years. But I loved sitting still in the evening light and singing along with the hymns I'd known since -- well, since forever.

Hate to see him go but he's closing in on 80 & he's in poor health. <br /><br />Our Christmas was low-key but really really nice. For once I did NOT go to the Dollar Store for stocking stuffers. I bought handmade soaps & sundries from one of my clients & my husband was dee-lighted. Nice to surprise them once in a while.<br /><br />Happy New Year~!California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-18451656080048624822015-01-04T23:07:49.141-06:002015-01-04T23:07:49.141-06:00That quote is perfect, and things like that don...That quote is perfect, and things like that don't come to us without a meaning.

Yes, I finally "stopped" and found my center with it, and with that, great peace.<br /><br />Poor Augie. It reminded me of my first Christmas with Rick and the boys -- at 5 a.m. Kevin was up and hurling. I thought, "I must really love this kid because I'm cleaning up kid-hurl and he isn't even mine!" Hope all is well now!

You are so fortunate to have those beautiful grandchildren. It's tough to be sick at any time, but to be sick at Christmas is doubly hard. Thank you for this wonderful reminder to be grateful for all that we have and all that we are to one another.

I hosted the usual craziness this year and that included adding over 5,000 Legos bricks to the family holdings just with my purchases alone. All the while, feeling tired and stressed, I kept promising myself that next year would be different. I'll aim for the same fun but less surrounding "fluff!"<br />Happy New Year, fellow grandma!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.com
