Last night was our last TOPS meeting of the year and I lost another pound. I have been so busy getting ready for Christmas that I haven't had time or energy to go to the gym so I was sure I had gained. I have been too busy to eat I guess. I am trying to make healthy meals but often only get two in a day with a quick yogurt or salad for lunch. I guess the answer is to keep busy. After the holidays I will get back to the exercise program!
Just a short note tonight as I am really tired and am turning in early. I want to share these Christmas poems with you so I wanted to get this out tonight. The Christmas deadline is getting closer!
Rock On!
This Christmas was a special one for me because we were waiting for the birth of my youngest grandson, Ben. He is a delight and just turned six on Monday. Enjoy!
Christmas Poem 2003
The Christmas Babe
We have another wondrous reason
to celebrate this Christmas season
We're awaiting the arrival of a new little boy
A baby destined to fill us with joy
Another grandchild- this one makes eight
Gives us a reason to postulate
Our children bring hope in a world filled with strife
Bringing new meaning to eternal life
As I gaze at our clan expanding each year
I see our lives going on long after we're here
I can't help but think of the babe long ago
Who promised hope and peace to all that we know
Twenty centuries ago in a small obscure town
they awaited a baby to be known the world round
We all know the story, but often forget
The reason for Christmas is not just what we get
It's not the huge profits the season will bring
It's the celebration of Life that makes the bells ring
A promise that each tomorrow will come
So bring on the pudding and bring on the rum
We have but a blink of time on this earth
So precious the moments that bring us such mirth
When we all gather from far and from near
We'll honor the Baby who brought us all here.
