Learning in the midst of it all and looking ahead to "be still" in the midst of it all in the future. Simplicity continues to draw me. How I desire to dwell in the season and not be hurried... Thank you for sharing! I needed to hear this; even today.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663588329014430033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-7874692230255260972014-12-08T18:56:24.796-05:002014-12-08T18:56:24.796-05:00Perfect ♥Perfect ♥Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615619898193867797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-30711774786814511702014-12-06T21:45:01.985-05:002014-12-06T21:45:01.985-05:00Sounds wonderful to me.

Put up the tree and added a few decorations but not the usual amount inside or out.<br />Blessings and love ~Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-70267096112872548492014-12-06T14:29:34.457-05:002014-12-06T14:29:34.457-05:00I wish much peace and quiet simplicity for you, Fl...I wish much peace and quiet simplicity for you, FlowerLady.

Different seasons call for different activities, roles, busyness (or not), don't you think?Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-66662237660241423602014-12-05T19:17:29.096-05:002014-12-05T19:17:29.096-05:00Oh, how I wish you COULD come over - though you...Oh, how I wish you COULD come over - though you'd have to bring your own tea. I have no confidence in my tea-making ability :) <br /><br />Bless your heart! With all going on in your house, I'm sure you ARE bone tired!

We won't be throughly done until about Dec 15 and I hold that this year there will be no tree, no outside lights, no decor. As I see a few pieces begin to move back into the dining room, I feel myself relenting a little to an angel or Santa or two maybe. When I sat down at the computer and read your post tears came to my eyes. Yes, I thought, you have put things in the right light. I have made the holiday much simpler these past years but still there is the feeling of bustle we pick up from others. Madeleine L' Engle spoke often of how we should learn to just BE in all seasons. I try but I need to try harder to get that job done. Sorry for the long rant...just reading your post made me want to slip out the back door and come over to your place for a cup of quiet tea.<br />Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-89064521026223920362014-12-05T13:14:21.601-05:002014-12-05T13:14:21.601-05:00Good for you dear Rebecca.

I have always enjoyed decorating, etc. losing him took some of the joy out of the holiday, this is my 3rd Christmas without him. I just need peace and quiet simplicity this year. We always enjoyed our quiet holidays, for me now though, they are quieter still. He's having Christmas with Jesus, and that has to be GRAND.<br /><br />May your holidays be filled with love, joy and peace.
