i have been catching up on my hibernating since October when i first mentioned what a good idea that might be, wake up sometime in spring 2011... This may have something to do with quitting smoking – seven weeks now behind me and each day filled with no desire, more like a complete distaste for them. i was thinking that at some point, the non-smoker stops counting and just stays confident in the fact that the addiction has been removed – stop counting and just be, i really feel like i am there – so i will. Make sense? :) The loss of this habit has created a void that feels like it may need to be replaced with something positive. Chocolate has helped but i was thinking more in terms of an activity, like working out again. Hmmm… Maybe some serious digging is in store for me in the coming year?
i have been fortunate that the Christmas celebrations inside and out, have woken me from my slumber so i might eat a bit more, snack on some great cookies and contemplate the deeper meanings of this Spirit walk that God has led me on while I sip on my own special coffee concoction. Although this season is obviously, and obliviously, lost in the commercial nature of buy, buy, buy, run, run, run,... we are often given these frequent opportunities to stop, pause and watch the snowflakes. Here in Mississippi we had a white Christmas for the first time since 1963. It really was a blessing to see those big flakes covering everything, softly floating down to settle in for the season. But these moments of silence and pause are precious and important. As Jesus said – “I am the silence and the much deeper silence.” i pray that you have taken that moment in the silence with Him to find peace within.
God Bless and Love to You All,

Hey Antbrother muchas gracias for the comment. Hope you had a restful Christmas and in Flying Form for the new year. I think we are going to need all the help we can get this year 2011 will be tuff. Me I'm only hanging on by a tread. The Government hit men have been pretty vicious with their taxes and fines on me. They keep reminding me how its privilege to a have a license and a mortgage. Why then have I always thought it was a right to be a citizen of a country that has this Oppressive Zero Sum Game Plan as something to look forward to in retirement. Hahahaha Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Bro Ant Man. Praying for you Bro.
