Oh, the Glory Days
So you should know I used to be on a bowling league. (Yeah, I'm cool like that.) It's been about 9 years since I was on the league and about 8 years since I've bowled... until last week. Haha! I may not have my old skills, but I had a lot of fun! I would consider starting back again... I'm not so sure any league would take me, though ;)

Dreaming of Sugar Plum Fairies
I'm a dancer. I'm not dancing right now, but you can never take the dancer out of me. I performed three times in the Nutcracker when I was in shape. It's one of my favorite ballets! Christmas just isn't Christmas if I don't hear Tchaikovsky's masterpiece with sugar plums dancing in my head.
Merry Christmas!

Forgotten Songs
"Songs that cannot be sung," said Owl, "because the words have been forgotten." Owl began to cry. A large tear rolled down into the kettle. "Spoons that have fallen behind the stove and are never seen again," ~~ Owl At Home
How I used to laugh at this funny story of a little owl who was making tearwater tea. This book was one of my favorites as a child. I loved how Owl sat thinking and crying over the most crazy things! It reminds me, though, of us sometimes... we do a lot of lamenting over things we cannot change and things we should just get up and do. There is a time for happiness as there is a season for all things.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
So be joyful in the Lord! He makes all things new!!
