‘Twas three weeks before Christmas and all through our house, not a person was stirring, but me and my spouse. Two stockings were hung by the chimney with care; Too bad no one would be there to share. Ev’ry night we rested all snug in our bed, while visions of vaccines danced in our heads. Each morning we arose to shelter in place, glad that our home was a warm, comfy space. Glittery garland, lights twink’ling on the tree, we nestled on our cozy couch for Christmas movies on TV. Gifts ordered on line, season’s to-do list quickly done, there was a whole lot less work and much, much more fun. It left plenty of time for Christmas love, peace, and light; The deep understanding that ev’rything will be alright.

ByCynthiaIn honor of my birthday this month, you should please excuse the pun! Yep, it’s time to celebrate. I’m putting away the tax prep work and taking a break from teaching.

Other Side of The Door
ByCynthiaWhen I was in my twenties, a friend informed me that I was the most driven person she had ever met. Certainly knocking on doors until one opened, was a specialty of mine. It worked. But many times when better opportunities appeared seemingly out of nowhere, I wasn’t able to make use of them. I was too busy following…
