Never Had Any Doubt

As in never had any doubt about making it through (I just love that word) Christmas.  My pastor's wife and I were talking after church yesterday morning and she asked was I ok.  I assured her that I was, but I was glad Christmas was almost over.  I shared with her, as I will share with you, I really do not like feeling this way about the holidays.  The dreading it and just wanting it to be over.  First of all, I am just too blessed to have that attitude, but I am human.  I really am looking forward to the time that it will again be a time of the year that I enjoy and not merely endure.  I do appreciate those people who tried to make it better for me and were genuinely concerned that I was ok.  As I have mentioned before, this grief thing really is a marathon and not a sprint.  Even though it is not a daily, in your face, thing anymore there are still times that it rears it's ugly head.  With that being said, I love that word through, because it means eventually you come out of whatever it is that you are in.  Oh, and I have to tell you Hannah, my pet rock, now has a companion.  I now have a pet log that I received as a Christmas gift.  Working on fixing her a little bed so she can rest beside Hannah.  Am currently working on thinking of just the right name.  My sister said I just had to name her Anna.  (as in Hannah Anna)  Will let you know when I have named her.  Have a great day!
