Monday Before Christmas.

 An unusual Christmas ahead.

It feels like an ordinary Monday yet, it is also the Monday before Christmas. Three more days and it is here! Different this year but at least we are able to celebrate, even if it will be a smaller celebration. This too shall pass....

Bob is on leave over the festive period and with cunning I managed to get him to come for a walk with me. Much muttering to begin with, intermingled with the oddball ideas of why we shouldn't walk too far or why it would be better to not go for a walk...no, no, no my honey, walking is going to be part of your holiday routine! Health is wealth...and after our walk he was as happy as can be.  

At the start of our walk, as luck would have it, we ran into one of Bob's work mates and he was most impressed ( actually he couldn't believe his eyes! ) to see Bob stepping about so lively. No doubt wondering why his wife didn't push him to such extremes...much ribbing ahead for sure.

The weather is still a trifle miserable but not that cold. Considering. A dull grey, odd spurts of rain and mud all about. Hardly picture perfect winter weather but at least we have the comfort of heating and an abundance of food.

Somehow this Christmas will revert to the ones of the past. A time to reflect, a time to be grateful, a time to be thankful and hopefully a time to comprehend how very fortunate most of us are...
