It feels good to have another session of Everyday God written. It’s the last for the year and, since another will lead the group for a while, it’s my last for the next three months and maybe my last forever. And as good as it’s been, it will be okay, however it turns out.
I’ve finally got a good lead on the direction of my Christmas letter. So I pray the idea pans out. But I can’t begin this for a few days since I want to come at it fresh rather than tired and depleted. I need rest. And I know my tiredness has caused me not to deliver my personal best toward Everyday God. But like squeezing that last little bit out of a tube of toothpaste, it was all I had. It will be okay, however it turns out.
The temperature gauge continues to drop — it will be a below freezing 16 degrees tonight — and soon it will be time for me to fly south for a little while. I’m ready to read and visit with friends and take long walks on the beach and eat seafood. And gosh I hope it’s warmer down there. And I hope the sun is out and the skies are blue. But even if it rains and the skies are gray, it will be okay, however it turns out.

Have some shrimp for me. Jane Enjoy the sunshine
Jane,
I smiled when I read this because it made me think of the many times I went to Dur Dutchman with you and Larry. And now I’m remembering the times you and Mom fried shrimp for us, that summer Granny made you “go to town” to help Mom keep house.
I think you’re more the shrimp lover than I, and that’s saying a lot. I’ll be glad to have a few for you too.

Rest is so important – time after time I’ve tried to “push” at night to finish something, and I end up just staring at the screen. If I get some sleep, more often than not I’ll wake in the morning with things having rearranged themselves a bit, or with a fresh direction. It’s amazing.
I hope it’s warmer for you down here, too. I just got my first hint today that some of the long-term models are thinking something a little more – interesting – than rain and gray. Like, white and fluffy 😉 It’s entirely too soon to say, but I have an aunt who’s headed down here for Christmas who’s going to be put out in the extreme if it isn’t at least 60 degrees.
At least seafood tastes good even when it snows!
Linda,
Oh yes….fresh Gulf Coast seafood is good any time of the year. I’m so looking forward to coming. And smelling salt air and letting the ocean breeze caress my face. And if there is sun and white fluffy clouds, like a yellow cherry with whip cream on top, then so much the better.
