Yeah, it's been a while

Honestly, I've been so busy over the last couple of weeks I have hardly had time to breathe! Between work and real life and choir practice and everything with the holidays (and no, I haven't started shopping yet, but I am going on Saturday)..... well, whew! I'm just now getting a chance to write.

Life, for the most part, is good -- in spite of the crazy-busys, even with all the hustle and hubbub. I decided not to put up any fuss at all about the holidays and just to be happy with what is. Giving up the need to have it all be perfect....... and honestly, I'm happier about this time of year than I've been in a long time. I'm not all ho-ho-holiday crazy. I'm still the first to yell Bah Humbug. What I am is just happy to be in the present moment......

I did have a moment today when I looked at the calendar and said, "Holy cow! It's two weeks until Christmas! YOW!!" Hence, the shopping on Saturday. Now, come Saturday after it's over, I may come back all in a huff .... usually because so many people can be complete jackasses at the holiday. Greed and me-me-me... not my style!

We shall see. But for now, it's good. And I'm content and grateful for everything I have and am.

This Saturday, I'll be reminded of how content and grateful my life is with Sera. We've got a daylong "date" planned, involving some 'roadside archaeology' pics along an old highway into Florida, lunch at an "adult Chuck E. Cheese" in Jacksonville (forget the name right now) and then a double-feature at drive-in down in Jesup.

Happy shopping. May you not encounter the greeds and Egocentric Me x3s.

​I wanted to share with you a thing of true beauty I saw today at church.  Let me preface it by saying while I am no fan of Clemson Universi...
