...getting gussied-up is still fun
...cold viruses can drain your energy like no other
...our three oldest children are grown and happily married; the youngest is single but "in a relationship"...it is still an overwhelming joy to be their momma
...our children's spouses are some of God's most tender expressions of love toward our family
...grandchildren can make you lose all perspective (Can I get a witness?!?)
...there's nothin' quite like an afternoon or evening of music with family and friends
...it's not a good idea to dispense coffee if you do not know how the coffee pot works...you might not be able to turn the spigot off when your cup is full...which might lead you to drop an overflowing cup of hot coffee on a table arrayed with hors d'oeuvres and all over the floor about fifteen minutes before the house doors open to an audience
...it's fun (and humbling) to learn what a phrase in a song really is after you've been singing it incorrectly for years and years...ie: "long rocky beaches" not "long rotten peaches"; "my eyes adored you" not "my eyes of Georgia"; "and the rockets red glare" not "and the rockets ring clear"
...receiving a surprise in the mail never grows old-hat or mundane
...paying a basketball coach not under contract thousands of dollars after he's been fired is the new definition of insanity
...we can disguise the signs of aging for a season but winter will inevitably blow on all of us
...living with true joy and hope in every season is only possible by God's grace through Jesus Christ
...sanctification is a walk...sometimes a shuffle (Tripp)...sometimes a lean in the right direction (Mahaney)
