Long day…

Well, it’s been a long day. But, I can’t go to bed without sharing a little. I hope that you are well, whoever you are and I hope that my music is giving you a little boost. We spent about an hour singing, as a family round the tree, last night. I was so tired. And it was hard to make everyone gather around the table, in front of the nativity scene. At first I thought that it might be a waste of energy to pull it all together. But, the moment that I began to sing, a new life came over me and I honestly didn’t want to stop when it was time to brush teeth and all the regular routine. I went to bed with a peace in my heart that wouldn’t have been there if I would have yielded to the exhaustion of the day and failed to end it all with a festive song and a thankful tune. So, I’ve bben singing “Away in a Manger” as I clean the kitchen and I’ll play at least a few notes before laying my head down……..I’ve learned that it’s worth effort. Besides, it’s snowing outside. How can I resist singing,”White Christmas” when we’re headed that way!?
