"What is the soul? The soul is consciousness. It shines as the light within the heart." The Upanishads
"When we die nothing can be taken with us but the seeds of our life's work and our spiritual knowledge." Dalai Lama
The last of the presents got mailed today and my cards were mailed yesterday. Mom was so cute she asked for two sheets of stamps and they gave her the comic book Super Heroes and the Yoda stamps. She could not figure out who Yoda was and was amused that I was so enthusiastic about the Yoda stamps. Poor Mom she may be the only person in the United States who doesn't know who Yoda is. I told her that her granddaughter and new grandson-in-law were comic book fans and use the comic book stamps.
I am glad that we only have one more day this week. It has been very frustrating at work. My co-worker has everyone ticked off because she doesn't really like her job or want to post any more and I can't do it all. They know that they may have to pitch in and help me post because it all has to be done before we can go home on the 31st. Not only month end but year end has to be done and they are really trying to clean up the books which means there is a lot heavier posting then usual. We all really like her as a person but we do wish she would pull her weight.
The weather has warmed up a bit but more cold weather is coming in on Sunday. I don't know if we will have more snow for Christmas or not. We may have to make due with the leftover snow from the last storm.
On Tuesday we will celebrate Christmas. I am off but both my Mom and brother will be working in the evening. We will start our day with Mass. After all it is Christmas and it really is about the birth of a little baby in Bethlehem. In this hustle and bustle of commercialism it is good to remember what the day is really about. It is a day of love.
