Time

December already? Where does the time go? We spend our days wishing for days end, wishing for the weekend, wishing for next week, next month, next payday, yet we always wonder in December how it got here so fast. It's that time of year again.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day spending time with my family and two of my little grandbabies and of course plenty of food to eat for sure. There are so many things to be thankful for - I think that's why we have holidays. Time that we can spend with our families as a reminder of the good things we really have in our lives and how much we really have to be thankful for each year. Dad was not feeling very good on Turkey day but he was determined he was not going to miss another holiday like he did last year and he made the best of it anyway. All in all it was a wonderful day!
Now it's on to Christmas - I managed to survive Black Friday shopping coming home with several great bargains! My holiday shopping is now well underway and really close to finished- yee ha! We are hosting the Davis extended family this year, so my to-do list is a mile long just getting ready...so much to do....cookies to bake, candy to make, decorations to hang, outside, inside, parties, potlucks, secret santa, gifts to buy, gifts to wrap, not to mention 18 stockings to fill and 16 of my own kids and grandkids to buy for. It will all get done in time......Time.....So little time, not enough time, time to relax, time to reflect on the past, time to be thankful for the present.
