Yesterday was Janelle's birthday, it was also a day of flexibility. The things we planned on doing we did not do and the things we did not plan on doing we did (but not in the Paul fashion). We planned on coming home for lunch and going to the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday dinner. Instead we went to lunch with our friends the Bells and went to Snappy Tomato with Chris and Micalynn Barker. While it wasn't what we had planned to do, it was better because it was time spent with friends.
We were going to take the Christmas tree down today but I could not stand the thought a wrestling boys, the trees and protecting the ornaments all at the same time....so we took down the tree last night while the boys were sleeping. There is a lot of additional space for the boys to play in now.
I was thinking of the upcoming new year knowing that it will be like every year having its share of dissappointment and sorrow, that is not what I focus on. Instead I look forward to spending time with my wife and boys. Trips to see grandmother, camp, grandparents coming back during the summer and the general promise of a new year. The new year also brings us closer to eternity with the passing of each day, so I need to make every day count.
In closing, again Happy birthday Janelle and Happy New Year to all of you.
In Him,
David
