I'm sitting here listening to the singular sound of a train horn, thinking of all the things I need to do.
Yes, 'tis the season'. Where we are supposed to be spending time with family and friends - but we tend be hurried, rushed and frantic to get everything done.
Looked at my calendar and between now and New Years, there is something going on every week-end. From an early Thanksgiving get together with family to Christmas Celebrations spread out over a week (or two). Add to that your normal every day activities (work, cleaning house, exercise - if you can get it in) and you see the picture.
What happened to those years where you were able to sit and relax and visit? When did we become a society of having to do everything - NOW. I long for those days when we were able to take the time to reflect on this season - giving thanks for all we have, celebrating the season of our Lord's birth and looking forward to the new year and all that it promises.
The train has moved on and so must I. Time to get ready and start the weekend activities.
Love, Forever and a Day
p.s. - take some time for yourself because I certainly plan to find some time for me.
Silent Night, Holy Night
All is calm, All is bright........
