I hope you had a lovely Christmas holiday. I had a really great holiday filled with family and friends and more family (I have amazing relatives coming out my ears). It was a packed couple of days once we got to Birmingham. We were rather delayed on our way out of town as we had car trouble which led us to a tow truck to the local dealership and then a taxi to the airport to rent a car and then finally back to Birmingham! But once we made it we had a really nice weekend doing all kinds of holiday festive things. Patrick went back yesterday afternoon but it returning on Thursday (hopefully with my car) for the New Year celebration.
I've been reflecting a lot lately about the countless blessings I have in my life and how lucky I am. Even though there is some impending stress (my follow-up tests have been scheduled for January 11th), I just can't get over how fortunate I am. Perhaps it is the time of year when we sit back and think about our many blessings. However, I hope that I (and everyone who I have seen exhibiting extra kindnesses lately) can keep this giving and appreciative spirit going even after the holidays are over for the year. If you have any ideas about how to keep the spirits up, please let me know.
In the mean time, I hope you are all recovering well from your overeating and candy hangovers (just me?) and that you are recycling all of your gift wrap and boxes from the holiday festivities. We have a mountain of recycling to surprise our pick up people with! My advice is to pace yourself, keep up the Purell, and keep Tums within easy reach!
