Check Yourself

Actually, check myself.  I've been having a bad attitude because things aren't "going my way."  I've been trying to put up a blog post for a couple of days, and I have not been successful, mainly due to technical difficulties (like, technically, I'm an idiot when it comes to the computer).  And my sweet husband has put in hours (it seems) trying to help me, and I just can't be helped this time.  The truth is, there are solutions to my problem, but they will take a looooooong time, longer than I want to take.  So, I must tell myself that I am making a choice here. 

I miss it though.  Silly, no?  I like sharing our mundanity (that ought to be a word).  I have no illusions about the impact this blog is having on the world.  My mom likes to read it a lot.  I like making her laugh with our antics.  I think it will be neat to look back on it one day, and have a record of some of the things we did and experienced as a family.  

I have been frustrated that I haven't been able to do what I've wanted to do for several days. 

But I'm sitting here looking at the Christmas tree, and it's so lovely.  The lights are very low, everyone else is asleep so it's very quiet.  And I'm thinking of what Christmas is, really, and my priorities are in need of an adjustment.

Well, I wish it were that easy...a few turns of a loose screw, tighten the bolt, a little polish at the end and voilá!  The new and improved Christina!   Let's say it's a start...
