Welcome back.
Back to almost normal...
Almost sanity...
Amost everyday life.
*Whew*
Sure the kids are still outta school, and yes, I'm still on vacation...
But the hustle and bustle of this lovely Birthday Season has wound it's way down.
The Christmas music, the tree, wrapping paper & bows, the stockings, the snowmen... all can be packed away for yet another year.
The special Christmas musicals, Christmas band concerts, and special church services.... all come to a screeching halt now.
The chaos that is this most joyous season - and many of our FAVORITE times of the year - has just ended.
And as much as I loved every single last little minute of it, I must admit that I am breathing a big sigh of relief and contentment. It was good. It was all good.
And looking back on 2009 - wow, it was a life-changing year for me, that's for sure. And yet we're blessed. I feel peaceful, loved, joyous and thankful as I enter into the new year!
2010, Here we come... full steam ahead!
2010, Here we come... full steam ahead!
Happy New Year
to each and every one of you!
to each and every one of you!

ReplyDeleteI'm right there with ya - Christmas is over, it's time to get my house & my schedule back to normal. I dread taking down the decorations, so I'll probably do it in stages. Love your family picture. I wish you and your family a blessed 2010!
ReplyDeleteYep, I must say I'm glad it's over although I loved most every minute of it all. I'm still on vacation too! Yeah!! Today is shopping and then about Thursday the tree must come down. I'm hoping to get it down before News Year Day! That's my goal.
