It's a quiet night after a very busy day. The day was packed with friends, a sick grandson who wanted to snuggle, and quite a bit more. To say that I'm exhausted and ready for bed is an understatement but my mind is racing toward what needs to be done yet tonight, and what must be started or finished tomorrow.
I am hoping for a mind quiet weekend but with a Deanery meeting and grandchildren visiting I think I will be lucky for a few quiet moments to just touch a bit of peace.
Ah, well - we can't always get what we want!

A Season for Peace
Life after surgery for me is stiff, extremely stiff. I stayed in one position for over 48 hours before and after the event and my rib cage feels so out of practice for sitting.
I went shopping for groceries with my husband tonight...shopping for bargains in these tough times can be fun. We mostly did the "big box" stores so I rode around in one of those carts with a basket. I must admit I was quite a hazard since they aren't always easy to control but I didn't run over anyone.
It was really good to get out of the house and see people, even if I didn't know them. I scooted around with my poor husband trailing behind me. I had asked him if he wanted to stay in the car, but he said he didn't wanted to so I just kept going and got all we needed in three stores for less than I thought I would.
I still have to get to the dog's market, but that's for a small item thank goodness.
Christmas as a season has begun. This is always my favorite time of year, and not because of presents! I love the cold, and early snowfall, Handel's Messiah, classical and early Christmas music and of course the way our church looks all decked out in evergreens.
This can be the beginnings for a season of peace. We all need that.

A Simple Quote
Life is not about convincing others to our way of thinking…instead life is about sharing who we are to better understand each other so we can grow to know the pain that others deal with and pray for their release, or that they can be given strength to deal with that pain.
In other words, life is sharing our love with others – no strings attached.
