its a bit cold today, but the sun is peaking thru the clouds. it is always a welcome to see the light of life breaking thru the clouds. i wish i could harvest those beautiful rays of warmth and comfort.... i firmly believe that just about everything is better in sunlight! .......except those,.... that must be done under the cover of darkness.... *soft smile i finished all of my wrapping today....... and i smile, as i walk throughout my abode, examining every detail of my christmas decoration i have displayed. sadly, not many will see it this year as i leave on monday...... nonetheless, i love the chirstmas season and adore the lights and decorations of christmas! its a quiet afternoon...... the calm before the storm. *smile ... today, i travel to my older brothers home... who, with his family will be hosting a pre Christmas party for his friends and some family members. i shared with him my recipe in cooking rib eye..... *crossing fingers. i look forward to "good eats"! this week has swiftly zoomed by and i will soon need to pack for our family holiday in the islands. pray for me as i will be traveling with almost 22 people from my family ( can Y/you imagine a gathering of islanders on the same plane? ... bus?? .... etc...........) help! i will miss being in the main land for the next few weeks .... 1.) my time will no longer be mine - family will come first and i will be surrounded during my stay in Kauai 2.) i will miss the opportunity to spend time with friends in the mainland, as i have often done throughout the years........ as well as start new memories with friends who have captured my interest.
