It's 4 days before Christmas

I know this because I get a daily bulletin from my second born.

This Christmas will be different. for one thing, I have to pick up my son that morning from his place to come here for his turkey dinner.

I still have not come to terms with his being on his own. Don't know if I ever will.

In about 2 hours the candle light service begins. It is one of my favourites of the year.

there is something about the singing in the light of all those candles. just does something to me.

I am also feeling a little I don't know thoughtful? because my birthday is in 2 weeks and I will have reached 50. I never envisioned that age and I don't think I feel it. Oh there are mornings when I think I feel old because something is still or sore but mostly I feel like time passing is irrelevant. In my mind, I am still the 16 year old who thought she could take on the world. I hope I am wiser then her but I don't ever want to feel old and worn out so that life no longer contains it's fun.
