(not necessarily in that order)
The Christmas play was a tremendous success on every level: inspiring, uplifted, sweet, well-attended, well spoken, well sung, beautiful costumes and scenery, and an amazingly smooth flow from start to finish.
Christmas Eve dinner with friends followed and now I’m falling asleep at the computer.
Happy Christmas, everyone!
Today was our annual 8-hour Christmas meditation. And it was, indeed, incredibly deep and profoundly still.
I have lots more I want to say about it but I’ve run out of steam for tonight. It’ll keep until tomorrow.
Or maybe Monday, considering that tomorrow morning is Sunday service and the Christmas play is in the late afternoon, followed by Christmas Eve dinner with friends.
‘Tis the season when the activity never ends!
I can’t remember the last time we were in the country for the month of December and didn’t organize, rehearse, and participate in the music for the Christmas Eve pageant (well, other than the last couple of years when it was all online!).
This year it was initially a matter of choosing not to overdo things (considering I’m just a few months post-transplant), but then it also became about minimizing my exposure to viruses (since my immune system is still “immature”, as the doctor put it).
The end result is that Ramesha and I watched the beautiful Christmas Eve program from home via the live broadcast, then ate a delicious fondue dinner, opened our presents (since we’ll be at church first thing tomorrow morning), and simply enjoyed hanging out together.
A perfect Christmas Eve.
