Gathering #11

As I looked out my window this morning and saw the snow falling from the sky I took a minute to just watch and listen. I heard nothing when I opened my window but what I saw made me smile. I have nothing to huge to do today and I can walk to and from work. I am blessed!!! Tonight I am watching a Charlie Brown Christmas, and Prep & Landing. What is better then Christmas movies, and snow. My shopping is finished and almost all wrapped and under the tree. I think that it is finally starting to feel, smell, sound, and look like Christmas. So as I sit and write this post I think of all the memories of Christmas past. I remember moments, and smells. What do you like most about Christmas? What is your favorite memory from Christmas? And most importantly Do you feel BLESSED?

Gathering #10

Last night I fell asleep sitting in a rocking chair. Maybe that is a sign that I need to slow down. I think I run at the speed of light and when I do finally sit my body gives out on me. This last weekend I worked 23 hours in two days. I tried to be nice to my guests and to wish them all a Merry Christmas, but at about hour 20 I had lost the spirit of Chritsmas myself. So as I sat down Sunday night to listen to the Christmas devotional with my family, I didn't make it through the 1st song and I was gone.
Do you think I need to slow down?
Do you think that I need to take a breather?
Do you think I need to find the Christmas spirit and live it even on a dead run?
I think the answer to all these things is Yes. I am re-evaluating my life and my attitude. TODAY I am keeping the Christmas spirit in my heart and in my life. And maybe if I slip you could give me a nice reminder to be kinder and more loving.
Oh and Santa if you are reading this.
I THINK I NEED A VACATION!!!
