They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

I’ve spent Christmas alone before. The first few times, I found myself feeling rather sorry for myself, unhappy that I couldn’t be with my sister and her family. While I enjoy being with them, I’ve found that there can be a gift to myself in spending the day on my own.
I am able to spend the day without distraction or demands on me. It becomes a day for me to do as I desire. Coming at the end of two extremely busy months at the Legion, that time alone is refreshing. Time in which I know I wont be pulled away from what I’m doing, wont hear the phone ringing with telemarketers ticking me off and distracting me from what I’m doing. More

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year, it was also the first official day of winter. We’ve been pretty fortunate so far, we’ve had very little snow so far this season. For the first time in 160 years there was zero snow in November.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really dislike winter. I do love the beauty of a winter snowfall, even the beauty of ice clinging to trees after freezing rain. I don’t enjoy the treacherous roads the weather brings. I deal with them by refusing to budge from the house when a storm is underway or imminent.
The start of winter also brings us very close to Christmas Day, just three days away as I write this entry. I’m going to be spending a quiet day at home on Christmas Day. Depending on the weather on Christmas Eve, I will be going to church and then will settle in for a couple of days of quiet time. I’m looking forward to that time. I have some reading I want to do and some writing. More
