He left early, eager to get home. We enjoyed a sweet afternoon, evening, and early morning visit with our son who is now en route home for Christmas. I love him and his soft heart; such a treat to see him (and deal with his shenanigans).

When I woke this morning one of the first things I did—as I always do upon waking—is bring to mind what’s on the agenda for the day. This morning I found . . . nothing. No thing. Nothing. Woo hoo!

Simple happy.

Early morning Mom and Michael time.

Butter tarts.

Leftovers in the fridge = no cooking tonight.

Christmas carols on Sirius XM making the horrible traffic in town yesterday bearable.

The woman in the foyer at Safeway playing Christmas music on a violin when I was going in, and on a guitar as I was going out.

I’m a writer, reader, and creative. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay. I’m here most mornings pondering ordinary things and the thin places where faith intersects.
