I treated myself to these pretty posies. They lighten my mood.
My families are all elsewhere for the Christmas celebration. I am grateful for what I have, but sad to have not spent any holidays with family this year.
My son and family from OH were going to go to FL to visit family, and stop here for a night (in a hotel in Asheville) so I could have dinner with them. That was to have happened Wed. but on Tues. they texted that one daughter had been with a friend who now tested positive. She got a booster on Tues. but Wed. morning she tested positive, and was feeling cold symptoms. So they all hunkered down for two weeks quarantine rather than playing at the beach. Many sad and angry feelings I'm sure. My son will just shrug it off and deal with changes I'm sure. But oh the emotional women in his family!! .
I'm ok with not giving them their little goodie bags, and will ship them to them now...minus the fresh fruit. My Christmas plans are open to the universe!!
Today's quote:
What a strange machine man is! You fill him with bread, wine, fish, and radishes, and out come sighs, laughter, and dreams.
-Nikos Kazantzakis, poet and novelist (18 Feb 1883-1957)
(And the waste products...don't forget we're animals!) BR
