Wowwwwww!

I just received my first Christmas Card today. I KNOW-I'm thinking the same thing! Thanksgiving isn't even in sight--it's October 8th for crying out loud!

.....Wait, what exactly were you thinking? Were you perhaps the tiniest bit impressed, more than a little annoyed at the timing, w/a little sprinkle of "what in the world" thrown in the mix? If so, then we are definitely on the same page. Now to this family's credit, the word "Christmas" didn't appear on the card. That being said, the "holiday wishes" were there, accompanied by little white snowflakes and the yearly family update. Goodness, I'm still trying to adjust to the Fall season, I'm not sure I'm ready to think about Christmas.

Then again, who I am to cast stones? I confessed publicly on Facebook this past Tuesday that I did indeed listen to a few Christmas songs that morning. In my defense it was by accident (I was doing the ipod shuffle), but I admit these songs made me smile. So maybe this family has it right, and they have captured a way to extend a glorious season of celebration. Perhaps I should get an early start on Christmas cards as well!

....nah, let's not take it that far! =)

Just the right size!

You know when you get a big company award that makes you feel fairly talented and you just may start believing you're somethin' pretty special? There's nothing like one bad call to bring you back down to earth and remind you though you do have moments of brilliance, you still have PLENTY to learn!

You know when you're at the gym shooting hoops, hitting nothing but net and making the boys around ya look bad? There's nothing like strutting over to the drinking fountain pushing that little silver button, and getting hit square in the face w/a steady stream of water-- that'll cut ya down to size in a millisecond! (And if you're me, it can't help but make you chuckle too.)

....which got me thinking, I suppose that's just what we are all supposed to be right--just our size! Not desperately pretending to be more, not consumed with worry that we're less, no bigger no smaller--just Lynn Marie Morrow as she was created to be!

Yep, God created me just the right size!
