And truly, in all of my memory, I cannot recall a year when it felt less like Christmas to me.
But, we decided to go to church tonight for the Christmas Eve services and that was a really good thing. There's nothing like remembering the real reason for the season, singing hymns and listening to a message of peace and hope to get yourself re-centered. It helped me to realize a lot of things... not the least of which is that I miss church... or spiritual services - or fellowship of some sort - that is love, hope, and peace centered. With Joanne and I both working weekends we don't get the opportunity to attend any such gathering too often... Anyway, there is more than that, but I don't feel much like posting about it... maybe later... I think it's time for some big changes. I guess the New Year is coming up just in time.
I know that there are some things I can control and some things I can't, but how I react to it all is always within my control. That part I can work on...
Oh, we did go to Vegas last week (a trip I purchased for Joanne's b-day back in August) and we saw Cher at Caesar's Palace. That was really cool. Maybe I'll post some pics later :o)
Anyway, I hope everyone has a very happy and peaceful holiday wherever you are and however you celebrate!
