The Christmas Rush has started. The pressure is mounting. I guess I am starting to feel the holiday spirit. Not sure I am ready, however. Cookies have been baked and given away to several on the list. Today I will complete one of them for the family gathering and prepare the dough for tomorrow's final baking action (date cookies, of course).
There is also preparation for the "Night Before the Night Before" party (I have a couple appetizers in mind for my contribution). Then there is also wrapping, the Christmas letter to be sent, and packing to be accomplished prior to leaving for the "homeland" and family festivities.
Winter comes tomorrow (shortest day of the year). My attitude starts to "darken" after the Summer Solstice, but the Winter one cheers me up (longer days and more sunshine). With the exception of yesterday, the sun has not been visible here for several months. Tomorrow will definitely correct my lingering doubts about winter and should make the next few months bearable.All this said, here I sit communicating with you, my dedicated fans, listening to "The Shawshank Redemption," and putting off the inevitable feeling of an impending deadline. Once again, the pressure player will rise to the challenge. I just have to select the appropriate sequence of activities. I love this movie.
