The Older I get...

My dear friend got a Christmas Card that had this poem below.
That is so true, that the older I get, the more Christmas means to me.
Sorry I haven't written lately, this Mono is kicking my energy. I am in
my Jammies more than regular clothes these days! Guess that is ok.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope to start writing soon.

THE OLDER I GET . . .
the simpler my holiday preparations become . . .
the closer I feel to old friends as I write my Christmas cards . . .
the more I cherish the oldest ornaments . . .
the more fondly I remember Christmases past . . .
the longer I hold on to a holiday hug . . .
the more I realize Christmas is a matter of the heart . . .
the tighter my throat gets when I sing "Silent Night". . .
the more I enjoy giving than receiving . . .
the more I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child . . .
the longer I sit at night in the glow of the Christmas tree. . .
the more wondrously beautiful the Christmas story is . . .
the deeper my awe at God's infinite love . . .
the More I Love Christmas!

Ephesians 1:17 "I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him."

Gratitude really does help!

Had a really tough night, and a tough day today.
The Doctor called today and checked on me, she was concerned that I was struggling so she thought it might because it was of my Mono. I sure hope so and I hope
to have a better night tonight, same to you dear friends!

Life's lessons...and I am still learning.

I have to admit  that I have wondered lately ...what it is I need to learn from my illnesses these last 6 months.


Yesterday the Doctor had me come in to talk about my blood results from last week.
Good news is...I don't have Step Throat like she thought, but I do have Mono and that would explain
why I have been feeling so bad for so long. I am struggling to do just the basics and when I go and do a little bit more than that, then I get very fatigued and tired.
So I am working on trying to be patient, trying to understand what it is that I need to change in my life and what I am suppose to learn from all of this. Life certainly is about lessons, yes it is and I am trying hard to learn them!
Good night dear friends!
