So ya, it's been raining here - a lot! I know the rainy season officially starts in October but really? 2 inches yesterday, that's like what, almost a fifth of what we need for the whole year? Crazy.
On to a new topic, we are now in the busy portion of the year in my household. It starts with the new school year and just picks up speed from there. Halloween is almost here, total non thing in my house but most everyone else is jazzed. I'm keeping my eye on the true prize, Christmas. It's not the presents or the food, it's how people are motivated to do simple acts of kindness just because a season. I do it because, well, it's my thing, a year 'round thing. I like to hold doors open for people and do random acts of kindness, it's how I do. But for others, they save it all up for Christmas time. They give of themselves, they give their time, they smile more. There are those who hate the holidays, it depresses them and reminds them of what they don't have instead of being grateful for what they do. Regardless, I pray for all of those who don't know Jesus or why there is such a fuss about the whole thing. That this would be the time they are saved or the seed of their salvation is planted.
Okay, I'm a liar, I do like the cooking, the endless planning of recipes that won't be made because my family is rather OCD about what they eat during the holiday meals. It makes it easy to plan, but BORING for me. I can't properly try out new things if they must have the same old traditional food I've always made. Maybe I should start making new stuff and just have people over to eat it. I'd get my ya-ya's out cooking new stuff the fam would NEVER dream of eating and it would all be consumed so that I'm not eating it all. Like some really cute cupcakes I saw for Halloween. Those I'll make for work.
Anyway, time to go, it's bed time and I'm still typing away. Okay, I wonder who will read this blog first.
