No, this is not a post about regifting!!! Regift at your own risk! Yesterday's title was Christmas 
PRESENT...so I wanted to carry the theme of TIME FORWARD...
Christmas Day was a full boat of emotions...
From the early excitement when the children were aroused from sleep at about 7:30 AM until presents were unwrapped at a hare's pace and gift wrapping paper was disposed of at a turtle's pace...until after lunch when we received the disturbing and upsetting news that my nephews 3 year old baby, Mia, was ambulanced to the hospital with breathing problems and a very high fever...until humbly giving thanks to God for our wonderful Christmas dinner meal, prefaced by prayers for Mia's recovery of health...until later in the evening when more presents were exchanged, intentionally delayed dessert was enjoyed, passing around our 6 month old baby granddaughter, Marin, and finally the long awaited cleanup and windup to a long and filling day...
A day filled with a full spectrum of emotions, feelings, and excitement...
Thank God for Christmas...thank God we only celebrate it once a year...I'm slightly kidding...Christmas is probably my favorite Holiday and Holy Day...The spirit of Christmas should be celebrated each day of our 
lives---with the emphasis on giving rather than receiving...but, the materialistic side of Christmas would wear us out, emotionally, financially, physically, spiritually, and practically...
Life wasn't meant to be lived every day atop the mountain...
There are times for valleys, time for mountaintops, but by and large, most of our time is spent ON THE JOURNEY...and those times are what we need to learn how 
to manage...
And so, today, the day after Christmas is one of those transitional times when recuperation, rejuvenation, rededication, remembering, rewinding, resolving and eating leftovers must be enjoyed...!!!
Merry ReChristmas!!!
