Good Morning Patricia, I love your Christmas story. For me, it sounds like you spent a perfect day. Highlights for me were also talking on the phone, walking Ruby, taking Ruby skating on the lake across from our house, and, as I am not a vegetarian, eating way too much turkey, then falling asleep on the couch while my husband and friends watched a Xmas movie. Today, since Randy is off work will be another lazy day.
Enough on me....back to your duality. Each one continues to be a gift you are giving us.
