Christmas Report

Christmas 2002 is history. Once again, I made a conscious effort to focus on the spiritual significance of the season and the day...and once again was something less than spectacularly successful. There's just so much stuff to get in the way.

Not that I'm the curmudgeonly type when it comes to Christmas gifts and such. Not at all. I love to get gifts and I love to give them, especially when you manage to find just the right one. We gave my 80-something mother-in-law a treadmill this year, and she was absolutely giddy about it. She's doing multiple 3-minute workouts throughout the day - hey, you gotta start somewhere - and in some small way, her life is now better than it was. As a recovering heart patient, getting some regular aerobic exercise just might give her more life.

Come to think of it, isn't that the spiritual significance of Christmas...a Gift that gives more and better life? Hmmmm...maybe I wasn't as distracted as I thought.

Well, enough of that...gotta play with my new wireless optical mouse!
