All Is Well

Wow. It's Christmas Eve.


I'm spending Christmas alone, but I am not lonely.
I'm actually enjoying the peace.
Not that my girls are high maintenance or troublesome.
I'm just truly enjoying having no deadlines, or obligations.
It's just plain peaceful.

I went on-line today to take a look at my grades from the
Fall Quarter at school.
I received all A's. I am thrilled.
I am looking forward to new classes in January, but
am thankful for this little hiatus.

I had surgery on the 21st which means I am now taking it easy,
sleeping a lot, laying on the couch watching Christmas specials
and seasons one, two and three of Ace of Cakes, putting together
a jigsaw puzzle, and contemplating baking some of my infamous
Sugar Cookies... the best recipe on the planet.

My girls are in England visiting their father and having
great adventures. I'm hoping they post lots of pictures for me to see.
I also want to hear about their visits to some of our favorite
haunts, like The Poacher Pub in Cambridgeshire.

I've just put water in the kettle for some Yorkshire Tea
which I will partake of in my Winter-themed Polish Pottery.
I will settle back into the quilt on my couch
and appreciate the fact that
All Is Well.
