Reflection

All my girls were gone yesterday Amber & Ada went to their Mom’s in the Hilton Head/Savanna area and Esther went to Knoxville for a basketball tournament. They all got home late last night. Esther stayed at Amber’s apartment. Laura is in for Christmas and went to Amy’s house to hang out. So Connie & I hung out here and had a quiet evening at home, just us and the dogs. I enjoy quiet time like that. We had time to talk and just be with each other, we watched a movie. then we went to bed and talked some more.

Today is a rainy dreary day and yes I know we need rain but I still prefer the bright sunny days. I have slept late so now I feel like the day is half wasted although I had no plans to do anything. It has started slowly a healthy breakfast with Connie. We discussed our children, their and our spirituality, our own mortality, then we turn to the day still ahead.

I keep looking out the window at the orchard and garden yearning to go do something, anything out there- there’s so much to be done. I have the next week off so surely I will get something accomplished. Now as I write this I reflect on Christmas's past: the joys, the tears and the hope the dwells in my heart. I think about the coming year, the questions of my health, my family, my country, my job, GOD…what will it bring? I am only certain of one thing. God is Faithful and will see me through all, both good times and bad times.

Now I’m going to build a fire to cheer the house and do something productive.

May God bless you today.
