Much to my dismay, winter has set in. I am not liking the cold...seems the older I get, the less I like it. The worst part has got to be the bone-chilling wind that cuts right through everything. The temperature this morning was colder than yesterday, but it felt warmer because there was no wind. Doing chores was much nicer!
Along with winter comes the holiday season. I do not usually decorate our house until the beginning of December, starting with my Christmas Village. I always have fun setting it up, and it is not uncommon for the little figurines to get moved around occasionally. My kids call it our Ukrainian Village.
I am hoping to put up a few lights outside this year as well. I know it should have been done when the weather was warmer, but since no lights will be going on the house itself it won't be a big chore.
I have had a hard time getting into the Christmas Spirit the last few years, but this year feels better. Different circumstances the past five years have put a lot of stress on me, but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I like to think of myself as an optimist, and try to find good in every situation. That can be very difficult sometimes.
I am concentrating more on writing these days, and am trying to bring myself to start a book about my son's diagnosis, treatment and recovery. It will be good for the healing process, but also very difficult to write. I have an article on HubPages about it, and had a hard time with that. The book will be so much harder to write, but will have so many benefits. I guess I just need to bite the bullet and do it.
I also have a mountain of fabric to do something with. The Holiday prints keep calling my name, but I have yet to answer them. Time to find my Christmas Stocking pattern and get busy.
Errands await me, so I will close for now. Have a great day all!
