Sunday thoughts and the WINNER!!!

What a week this has been.....it calls for a moment of relaxation and enjoyment.....that's what fueled this giveaway anyway. I thought it would be nice to send something to someone that would cause them to pause and reflect, to pause and be inspired, to pause and celebrate the joy, peace and good cheer that Christmas is supposed to be about. Instead we scurry around, and in my case, take on TOO MUCH. I am making notes to myself and putting them on my November 2010 calendar to NOT overbook December, so that I will have some time to do the simple things I would like to get done, and then to enjoy.

But the BIG deal of the day is the WINNER of the giveaway. I called my friend, Mr. Random Number Generator, and he came up with a number that led me to Marla of Always Nesting, as my winner! Congratulations, Marla. I will be mailing out a package of goodies to her early this week, so that one day this week or next, she will be able to prop her feet up , sit by the fire and be inspired. If it happens after Christmas, then that's okay, too, because we all can use some relaxation time after the holiday, right? I'll get that right out to you, Miss Marla...I hope you'll enjoy!

Oh, and I did get groceries purchased for my family.......two sons and daughter in law will be arriving tonight! And you'll never believe what crazy, odd-brained notion came over me in putting my groceries away. A project that I was crazy to begin, but did anyway. I'm changing out my pantry, which is not nearly big enough, and is so hard to manage, so that it holds all my dishes and the cabinets where the dishes were, now holds all my food. I couldn't really see what was in there, so consequently you'd think I was planning food for an army OR that I was preparing for a Hurricane or Snowstorm of the century. Part of my new year's menu will be using up all that food!!!!!!!!!!!! I am cleaning out and throwing out, too. I thought I was well, but now am sure that the virus knocked me off my ROCKER!!! LOL...
Enjoy your day, friends, and may the PEACE of Christ rest in your hearts today.
