Christmas and Easter are exciting, but in some ways they are anticlimactic. It's sort of "OK, what's next?" <br /><br />The other thing that you reminded me about is that waiting really IS part of life. It's not, "as soon as I get this done, then I can get on with life." Life is always going on! (Philosophy is free of charge!) :)<br /><br />Thanks for continuing to share your journey, Brenda. <br /><br />Happy Advent!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.com
