Happy New Year from the Window
I wish you all a blessed, productive New Year. I saw this on Facebook this morning and wish I'd written it. Since I didn't, thanks to Scott Stabile for sharing it with everyone.

It is days like this...
...that I worried about when I retired.
I complain about being busy, about not having down-time or enough time with Duane or time for this or that. But the truth is I don't want down-time and I love being busy and one reason Duane and I enjoy being together is that we're not necessarily breathing the same air all the time even though we're always within cellphone or intercom reach.
And today I'm not busy. I have no appointments, no one to meet for lunch, no shift at the hospital. I could (and should) go to the gym, but I need some days away from that. I could (and should) bake for Christmas or run the vacuum cleaner or dust or finish wrapping presents.
I am never bored and can't imagine being bored, but it is days like this I am afraid it will happen.
Do you have any of those?
On a brighter note...
The Gingerbread Heart is available in print! I am so happy to see it. I'm still waiting to receive my copies. The whole A Heartwarming Christmas experience has been one of the best I've ever had. I hope you've enjoyed the reading.
If you missed Wedding at Turkey Run, it's still available on Wattpad (which is a whole new thing for me).
For now, I'm wishing you a merry, merry Christmas!

Second day of gratitude
On my second day of gratitude, I’m grateful for dark, silent mornings with something hot to drink and a laptop. In that order. I admit, I wish "they" would leave mornings alone instead of doing a changeup on them twice a year, but I enjoy them no matter what time they get here.
And just a reminder:
