God in the Attitude

The Christmas season is upon us.  I am so excited this year.  I was in a fog the last couple of years due to many personal and health reasons.  But this year I feel re-connected to the true reason for the season.  I am not sure what the reason is - but I know God is behind it. I have struggled with my health for the last several months - well even for the last several years if I am completely honest.  For those reasons and probably many others - it was just hard to get into the spirit.  Usually I am such a Christmasy person that I tend to make others a little nauseated... but I think I finally have found my balance.  I think that some of the worldly things that have made a difference are NO TELEVISION - yes that is what I said...  NO TV.  The hubs turned it off while I was in the hospital and we were not able to figure out the rabbit ears and converter box thing...  so only DVD's.  Since I am not really a movie person - and all of my cooking shows and the like are not available to me any more - I am really getting things done.  I think this is why I am feeling so much better - less distractions and less opportunities to tune out of life.  I will say however this is all GOD.  HE is in control and I needed to get back to basics to HE helped my hubby to be able to take us there.  This year will be a great one.  Not too many things have changed in my circumstance - but so many in my attitude of gratitude.
