I just bundled up and took our old dog for a walk. He doesn’t walk as far or as fast as he used to, but he still appreciates getting outside. Now I’m back inside getting warm and enjoying the lights on the tree.
It’s a beautiful crisp day here in Austin. We celebrated our Family Christmas gathering last weekend with all our children and grandchildren, so today is a time of quiet enjoyment and spiritual reflection. I have a simple dinner on the stove, and after church, I’ll put a pineapple upside down cake in the oven. Our youngest son and our niece, home from college with her boyfriend, will join us later.
I am grateful to you for the time we spend together. Thank you for reading my work and for supporting our business. I love hearing from you about your ideas for your community, through your emails, and on Facebook and Twitter. Thank you, too, for all the good you do in the world.
Today I’m wishing you all the joys of the season: the love of family and friends, peace, tranquility, and hope for the year to come.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
