hopefulIt was a quiet Christmas Eve thus far. Soon we head to my baby sister's house for dinner with some of the family. Having quiet meant I got to read my #bookaday early today. Since then I have written and sent in the review of that book to VOYA. One down and three more books to read and review in the next week or so.
I also had some time to work on another writing project and send it off for feedback. I still have a couple more days before that deadline, so I am feeling like I am on top of things for the time being. Oh, I know that things can still go, as Bobby Burns write so beautifully, "gang aft agley." But, in the meantime, I am donning some summer clothes (it is in the 80s here) and heading off to a lovely dinner and even lovelier time with family.
Though our family has grown smaller over the years, though we all think today and this season of those no longer here, we still find it in our hearts to celebrate those near. I am sure we will laugh at memories and perhaps even shed a tear to two, but that is fine with family. Family accepts. Family celebrates. Family endures.
