Keep Smiling!

Welcome to December!

We were watching a Christmas movie last night and it turns out one of the channels will have family Christmas movies running every night for 25 days! You probably already know that.

But doesn't it seem like a good excuse for not going to any adult meetings or gatherings for 25 days? Like Lent (a fast from meetings).

Or we could call it professional development for those who need to stay in touch with the child-in-you for professional reasons : )

How's that for random. :)

There was an old poem my father used to quote by Rudyard Kipling, "If you can keep your head while all of those around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you..." but I can never remember the end of it*. I'll look it up.

Reminds me of the Beatitudes. Sounds like a new definition for "meek".

Keep finding things that make you smile and laugh this season. Don't let all the clamor steal this opportunity to enjoy your kids and the wonder of the season. Dig your heels in.

Much joy to you.

*Kipling's thinking will seem flawed to some but you get the heart of it.
