Christmas Eve 2010

It’s the day before Christmas and I have to wonder if anybody is sitting in front of their computer reading blogs. Probably not. More likely in line at Walgreens with an arm load of snuggies.

After six days straight of rain and a leaky roof, finally we had some sun. The good thing about all that rain (along with helping watering all the plants and making a chink in the drought) was how grateful I felt when it stopped. Just seeing some blue sky made me smile and feel happy. As much of a nuisance the leaks were, they were minor compared to having mud slide into your house or to get flooded.

And now that we’re past the shortest day of the year, the days will start getting longer again.

Over the years we’ve had parties for Christmas or gone to parties. This year I’m happy with quiet. I like my blog sister Terri’s idea of counting your blessings. And that is exactly what I’m going to do.

Merry Christmas!
