Collecting Thoughts

Well...It is official...I have enter the Technology Age! And at my age, that is a big step. I doubt if many will read this page of Drifting Thoughts...but who knows, maybe I can encourage a few chuckles to come forth from time to time and brighten someone's day!

As for Collecting my thoughts...it seems like a good place to start as they are all over the place these days! With the Christmas season upon us, shopping (which, by the way I did over 90% on line so I am feeling a little giddy about not going to the Malls!), anyway, I want this year to focus more on the true meaning of the season! I put up a few decorations right after Thanksgiving...a few meaning the bears and birds, and a small trio of trees...but the Holiday Spirit has yet to catch me this year. Maybe it is because this will be the first year that hubby and I will be on our own...no boys coming home this year. That is ok, but a little disconcerting to me right now. And still not knowing people in this new place in Wisconsin...what will Christmas be like?

Sure I am in the middle of coordinating a rather large scale Christmas production at church...that has kept me busy and my thoughts occupied for several months now...but now that it is coming to an end, what is next? Nothing wrong with a quiet Christmas...except the quiet! I guess this is the season of my life that is upon me...and I am not sure how to handle it.

So much for causing a chuckle...I will try harder next time...I will also really, really try to find peace in the quiet...a luxury that so many people seem to be missing. I will learn to appreciate this new season and grow from it into the next one...whatever that may be.

But for now I will focus on the True Spirit of the season...Jesus is the Reason and it is in Him I will find the comfort of this quiet season peaceful!

Standing firm...on one leg...
