Saturday December 7th, 2013...

    Have done nothing but laundry today.  Made taco soup which I am always grateful for.  It's snowing now.  Soft and white from the endless gray sky. It doesn't seem to be coming down hard, just floating listlessly from the sky.  The wind is picking up though which sends it in intervals of spinning swirls.  It looks cold and I don't want to go out in it again to get my son, but will be venturing out in a couple hours.
     Still have no idea what to do about Christmas. No idea how to afford presents even though my kids so deserve to have a good Christmas.   I am grateful we have a place to live that is warm and dry.  I am grateful to have a job to pay the bills.  I wish I could find what I am good at, or passionate about and make money from it.  I love to write and never know what to write about.
      I am grateful for all my family and friends and my children that are an endless joy.  I am grateful I am smiling more and less stressed than I have been.  It's a lot easier to put it in Gods hands and let go.  Saves all kinds of time for appreciating the things around you.
       Christmas will work itself out, it always does.  Tomorrow will come, I hope it's less snowy, and we will have a new chance to make the right choices that will lead to a happy future.
