  I took my daughter skiing today, the two boys did not want to come. One has a fever and sore throat, the other wanted to sleep in. Both get to stay home with dad. Because I live about 40 minutes from  Bellayre Mountain, we get the kids season passes, so they can ski unlimited times during the season. The parents sit and talk, I also knit and do Bible Study. It is relaxing. One day I will try to get up on skis, but it looks way too scary to me right now. Coordination isn’t one of my strong points.

  
  

  Hope you have a Blessed Christmas. For me I have been praising God. He has begun to do a healing in me. This year I have been listening to Christmas Carols on our local Christian station, and there aren’t the tears, the gnawing hurt inside. Somehow Christmas (which I always enjoy vicariously through my kids pleasure, but in the past I would dispense with) is now something that doesn’t tweek past memories, and mourning of what wasn’t when I was a kid. This is the first year that that pain hasn’t surfaced. Praying this peace and joy onto all of you as well.
