[A belated post on the Christmas season.]

Christmas is over. Does anyone else experience post-Christmas depression? Okay that might be a stretch, but it seems like so much preparation goes into it and then it's gone in a flash. It's good that the New Year follows quickly after. It has been a happy time filled with loved-ones, teal-velvet-birthday cake, the Nutcracker, snow, goodies and sweet things that I would like to reflect on now. :)













Work on the Oncology floor has been rough. I had my first patient die on my shift. I have had to be reminded of simple things (very simple things) that I know to be true. Things like, God is the giver and taker of life. That has been a difficult truth to believe lately. I had a long drive yesterday and listened to John Pipers recent sermon at the Village...made me happy that this life is not all we live for.
