A couple of days have gone by and I haven't felt the need or urge to write in my blog. Not that things aren't happening - because they are - but more 'cause I just haven't felt like it. That causes me to think INWARD and wonder WHY? I didn't do that for long - as you can tell - I am back on the blog. I was just reading another blog lady who said her computer got a virus and so the store says it may not be repaired until after the holiday weekend. She figures she will be 'fasting' - not food - but internet! I laughed when I read it but ... that's not a bad idea. Perhaps we have too many things happening in our lives - no time to sit and listen - hear the silence. We always have to be 'doing' something. What happens if we are NOT always 'doing'? Guilty conscience? boredom? do the fingers start tapping? Feeling aimless? No direction? Yes to all.
It is only three sleeps till Christmas morning. It will be different this year as our kids won't be here with us. Usually they are with us for Christmas day or Christmas Eve. Either way, we see them. Not this year. They are staying put and having the other grandparents visit. I am happy for them but as I said...it will be different.
Maybe we will have to try and do something different - something we wouldn't normally do if we had all the family home. Not sure what that is right now but maybe there will be something to report in a few days. In the meantime, I am enjoying the odd 'wholesome' Christmas tv special. Sometimes it means watching something made in the 50's or 60's or even earlier! Wholesome is an uncommon word these days.
Well, if I decide to 'tune out' to the noise and 'tune in' to the silence over the next few days, I may as well say "Merry Christmas and God bless ". Be good to each other. We're all we have.
