Christmas Wish List This entry was posted on 12/18/2007 7:50 PM and is filed under uncategorized. I'm getting excited...my daughter and her family will be here this
weekend...which means some Grammy time with my granddaughter who is now 17 months old. Of course I've tempered my excitement with some worry...will I be able to keep this old house (I love it...but it is old and doesn't have central heating and cooling) warm enough for the baby...will she feel compelled to discover the true meaning of HOT by placing a fingertip on the gas heater much as her aunt did at my mother's over 25 years ago? Will we survive one bathroom on Christmas Morning when my other daughter (the heater toucher) joins us (along with her dog)? And my list of concerns goes on from there...from will I have anything the baby will eat...to how the granddaughter, grandpup, and the CAT will get along...and ending with..."I just want everyone to have a good time!" Bertha had me write the above list...then she took it and tore off everything above..."I just want everyone to have a good time!"...wadded it up...and threw it in the garbage, telling me to focus on the 'short list' for a change! Well...after I got over the fact that Bertha had the audacity to throw away my perfectly warranted worry list...I realized that she was right on...as usual...I was focusing on all the things I didn't want to happen instead of what I did want... So now... The cat in her fur coat...and I in my flannels...decorated the trees and hung stockings from the mantles...then sought our soft bed...where soon visions of my family having a wonderful time danced through my head...I heard laughter and whispers...saw huggers and kissers...smelled meat that was roasted...tasted drinks we had toasted...the house felt cozy...the baby's cheeks rosy...we all got a shower...Bertha's beau sent her flowers...the pup and the cat were new best friends...this seems like a good place...I think I will end... With one special wish from Bertha and me...may you always believe that the things you are wanting...you'll surely receive!
