Quiet Winter

It's a typical winter here in the big woods. Cold, snowy, not much happening. I see why bears hibernate. I kind of hibernate too! It's easy to do anyway, having been struggling with my health for so long. My social life is non-existent! 
With a busy hubby and teens going every which way and one dating, our weekends are very tied up with family anyway.  I'm not quite sure how others have so much time for socializing. Even when we "had friends", it was always a family-oriented thing we planned together. Couples going out? Never. Not since before we had kids! I don't know, I don't really feel we're missing anything. 
Steve's best buddy lives in Texas, mine is 3 hours away, and other close friends of ours are just as busy and dedicated to their families as we are. There's never enough time to do all the things with all the people, is there? 
One day we will have all the time in the world for our friends again. Not on the phone or on the dreaded Facebook chat, but in person again. 
But it's quiet out here and it sure would be nice to be scrapbooking with Patty and laughing as we always do, or having a nice long talk with Pam or Angela about things that matter in life. 
Because friends can be just as important as family, if not more than, in some cases. And I don't want to sleep through that.

Hi miss Jami.
5 more weeks until daylight savings, so no time to hibernate :) Nice to see you got a chance to post.

Blessings to you and your family.

Jami, you said it well. The time will come soon enough when things won't be so busy with teens. I keep praying against the side effects and hope by the time spring comes, you can be out side a lot. Maybe even before that!

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
