I'm exhausted after four holiday parties this week: Utah State Poetry Society, Heritage Writer's Guild, Relief Society then a birthday party for a friend. All that plus working on Christmas cards, shopping and playing around with my friend Caryn, setting up classes to teach in Jan and an open house in December, trying to give a free demo on Writing your life story at the Sr. Citizen's center plus going to lunch with hubby at Smashburger and various other little projects; it's so nice to have a free weekend before me. The opportunity to recharge my batteries for the week ahead-only three more parties: a Family Home Evening group of friends, Daughters of Utah Pioneers and our LDS Branch Christmas parties. It will be a relief to have the celebrations over and get to the real reason we celebrate the season...the birth of the SAVIOR.
