As I spent Christmas Eve by myself, I enjoyed much lovely music and programs while opening a present once in awhile.
Grazing delicious remnants of Dec 23 dinner,
Trying to do Sudoko (not easy) and enjoying my gifts:
Goodies to eat: favorite chocolate and favorite licorice;
Goodies to smell: favorite perfume and body cream;
Goodies to read: two great new books;
Goodies to hear: CD and Book;
Goodies: beautiful watch,
3 precious dolls ( Nordic fairytale dolls), Beverage warmer.
Thank you family and friends for the wonderful gifts!
The two new books I heartily recommend "Sperry Symposium Classics on The New Testament" which will be great for this next year as we study the New Testament.
I told the Bishop I would be gone for about two months--so he may replace me as SS Teacher--we will see. I have had the job for almost two years and been gone a lot and Ron Martin has always taught when I was gone which I have appreciated so much.
The second book I will use as my guide to "Where do I go from here?" in my life. It is by Stephen R. Covey, (a favorite of mine since the 70's) and is called "Everyday Greatness"--inspiration for a meaningful life. And just as I was trying to figure out "what next?" How timely--Already delved into the first chapter and loved it, even cried (which I rarely do) and I heartily recommend it for the NEW YEAR as well as the above book. Merry Christmas all!
