Friday Roundup.

 

When we work so hard at our preparations for Christmas,
we often feel cheated and frustrated when others fail
to notice the results of our efforts. We need to ask
ourselves why we are doing the things we choose to do.
If love motivates us--love for our families, for our neighbors--
then we are free to simply enjoy the actual process of what
we do, rather than requiring the approval and admiration
of others for the results of our labors.

Good morning everyone. Looks like another spring like day. I'll take it. I have a long walk this morning to the post office. It's good for me, and I don't mind it in the warm weather. But, it all has a trade off. I heard that by mid-January winter will start hitting us with a vengeance. Sure, just when school is set to begin again.

Not much else is going on now. I'm just about ready for the holidays. Cards are out, presents are bought, tree is up and house is decorated. I still have cookies to make, but that won't be until Christmas week and dinner to plan. I am leaning towards Italian this year. Last year I served a Spanish feast with recipes straight out of my Weight Watchers cookbooks. No one even knew.

Well, aside from Church on Sunday nothing else planned for the weekend.  Will be cooking two meals on Saturday.  I realize now after having to rush home and cook last Sunday I need always to have one dish in the freezer just for those times...or days I just don't feel like cooking.  Have a few presents to wrap this weekend and then my time is free to do whatever I please. Sounds like a good time to light a few Christmas scented candles and just sit and watch the twinkling of the tree lights.  Life is good right now.

Have a great weekend.
