TUESDAY WITH MEME...

• a quiet day but I did walk to the bank as the weather was nice
• then went to seniors supper as Miss Ashley had to work
• I am thinking about how simplicity is more than just a life style but
• also an attitude of the heart-
• especially at this time of year with Christmas nearly here
• we end up doing so many things that we not only forget
• the reason for the season but we miss the joy...
• and often set ourselves up for financial worries in the New Year
• I remember how simple our Christmas was at the farm
• and yet we still had so much to be thankful for...
• we always had a good meal and a few gifts and our tree
• was from our forest- fresh cut- with the same decorations
• and then used as a bird feeder after
• the time in the house
• and a box of Christmas oranges- one box and one box of
• candy canes- for the following cold winter nights-
• I learned that you always ate the orange first or the sweetness
• from the candy cane would make the orange taste sour
• I learned that a candy cane can last a day and a night
• I miss those old fashioned Christmas times where
• the month of November was baking month so we could
• share gifts with the neighbors that were simple and good
• -maybe the recession that we are hearing of
• will bring back the simplicity of Christmas
• and if not--
• I can still do my part to share the reason for the season
• huggles me
