I'm here

On Facebook there is a nice feature called Memories.  If you click on it, you are shown things your posted on this date over the years.  My blogs are often linked so I can go back and see what I was talking about....and you know what each year around this time I am thinking about Christmas being a sad time.  I have gone back and read the comments and am reminded about your stories and how this time of year brings back not only joyous memories but memories of loss too.

I wasn't feeling melancholy until I re-read those posts...
Not really....I'm not feeling that way today.
Perhaps the sunshine and mild temps have kept my spirits up.
But as I have said in the past.
I understand.


Going thru my notes on my phone I found this....

"It was a Christmas as unique as any other. For every year the mystery unfolds itself anew. And late in life, I came to see that faith, like hope, is a rope and anchor in a shifting world. Faith cannot be questioned, only lived. And if I could not grasp it then, I felt its heartbeat, which was love."


Do you remember?  It's from Call the Midwife.  I can hear Vanessa Redgrave's voice when I read it.

I also found this in my notes....

"I remember the times when my underwear stayed in place. That was long ago.

Now the elastic is worn out."

You're welcome.
