it's monday morning
usually a time
of frenetic getting ready for our
weekly homeschool co-op
shoveling breakfast down
at breakneck speeds
hastily washing dishes
making beds
getting dressed
finding coats
shoes
homework
car keys
packing lunchboxes
putting the pup in his crate
did anyone take Hugo out to pee?
but today
on this chilly monday
we are on school holiday
and i am sitting here typing
on the first monday of my forties
whilst lounging in my robe and slippers
thinking about
what i wish to write to you all
on this final post before Christmas
mostly
i want to say
thank you
for reading Stuff and Nonsense
for taking the time to encourage
comment
enthuse
disagree
provoke
inspire
and relate to the thoughts that i share
it is a funny place
this virtual world
where one finds so much in common
with others unmet
except through words and pictures
which perhaps
are the most telling after all
so thank you
for making 2011 so distinctly memorable for me
for joining me on this blogging journey
i hope and pray
that as you gather with family and friends this week
wrap and unwrap those trinkets
that your Christmas is merry
filled with the stuff of which
warm memories are made
and that
most of all
the love of our Savior is with you all
