It's a busy time of year, and this week will be the busiest! Maybe you still have Christmas cards to get out(like me!)or presents to wrap. You've probably been to a party or two and have overindulged a bit! For me the worst time is when the cookies come out. I can't resist chocolate chips! So, you may need to exercise a bit more.
Plan to go for a walk or meet a friend at the gym. I met with a friend last week and we chatted while walking on the treadmill. Later on, we scheduled lunch and shopping,
and it was fun! We had salads and then went shopping. Yesterday my hubby and I did a mile on the bike trail and about 10 minutes walking to and from the car for various shopping adventures. So, try to build your exercise into your shopping schedule.
Also, be aware of what you eat and consume a little less in preparation for the Christmas revelry! Most importantly remember who the day is for, a celebration for the birth of Jesus. Merry Christmas everyone!

HERE AND GONE
Like the touch of an autumn breeze on your cheek or the flutter of Angel's wings,
she's here and gone.
Joan believed in her Angels- whom she called her Earth Angels, and there were many of us. She loved us all and was always grateful.
Joan loved a good joke and always perked up around men! She even named her cat Angel!
Well, she's up there now with her beloved Phil- happy and healthy at last- sending blessings down to all of her Earth Angels.

CANTOR
This Sunday was my first Sunday as cantor at Holy Trinity Church in W. Harwich.
I was quite nervous at first, but I had practiced the psalm earlier so I was ok with that.
I probably should have had some of the songs pitched lower, but I'll know better for the next time which will be next Sunday at the 5:30 mass. It was really a beautiful experience and really an honor to praise God with the gift he has given me, my voice.
It was also very special to be on the altar. The only other times were at my Mom's funeral and when we renewed our marriage vows. This was a totally different experience. The choir director, Steve, was very nice and helpful. He sang the mass parts since I only know the alto parts. It just gave me such a lift, and I'm very grateful
for the chance to sing and praise God in this way! Have a great week! Peace.
