A Gallery of Thoughts, Pictures, and Memories

re-framing Christmas. chapter 2. got that tree up. it’s a whuppin’

Things that reveal that you are no spring chickin anymore:

Thing 1 – Putting up the 2016 Christmas Tree and decorating the house.

Total time:  3 days (more or less).

The final sprint:

  • Calories burned (according to Fitbit) – 2,187.
  • Number of steps doing this (inside the house, all day – no “walk”) 5969.
  • How many times up and down the step ladder?  God only knows.
  • How did I feel?  Like I had been beat all over with a stick.
  • How does the tree look?  Just fine.

Let’s hope that it cheers us up.

It’s the holidays and it is a very strange time in our lives.  Praying for peace and praying for some settling in our family and in the world.  We are not guaranteed happiness.  We just have to try to be happy when we can get those beautiful moments.
