The Day After ...

Hi, everybody. I usually like to make these posts earlier in the day, but it turns out that I don’t always get what I want. Which leads me to the topic of today’s post—Christmas. My original plan for this blog entry was to follow up on a previous post about the project we were planning for the holiday. We had planned to put together a “crafting station” at our holiday get together in which friends and family would decorate a page, then we would add it to a book that we would put together. In short, that didn’t happen.

Before I continue, I would like to preface by saying we did have an overall good holiday. Christmas wasn’t cancelled. Some of the plans, however, were cancelled. As it turns out, folks are catching COVID around here like it’s going out of style. It’s missed us so far, but a lot of our friends and family members did catch the bug. Fortunately, everyone has reported relatively mild symptoms and are feeling better at this point. So, we’re happy about that!

All that said, I hoped to share with you images from our planned project—but I have none! If you happened to have done the project at your own holiday party, we would love to see some pages! I’ll post the link to our Facebook group below in case you would like to share.

As I write this post, it is the day after Christmas. And though things didn’t go exactly as planned, it was an altogether good day. I think it’s worthwhile to focus on the things that go well rather than the opposite. I also believe that t’s worthwhile to reflect on the things that didn’t go as planned with the goal of applying any lessons I may learn in the future.

I feel like I’ve gone on long enough here. So, I’ll leave you by saying that we’ll be back next week with a new video and the January newsletter. Who knows, maybe there will even be a new comic at the 1134 Comix page …

Until the New Year,
