I've posted so many solemn entries it is time for something different. I have been having a spring clean and came upon this, an excerpt from a Christmas message.

I'm just sure some of those presents have underwear in them!

Someone always gives me underwear for Christmas,

some socks or handkerchiefs,

or somethings else that is useful, but not much fun.

And then I am supposed to be polite and thankful,

(as though I am really happy with the gift!!)

and say "Thank you" - and not just say it,

but say it as if I mean it.

As if I am REALLY thankful,

for plain, ordinary underwear,

In a pretty box,

Under the Christmas tree.

Don't know how that relates to my life right now, but it seems to. Perhaps it is the plain and ordinariness of life right now. I guess I am meant to be thankful for that too. Right?

The excerpt is from a message by Arden. W. Mead.
