I just took a personality test. It’s the latest thing. My daughter mentioned it last week, “I’m a ___ and Tim’s a ___,” she laughed. I had no idea what she was talking about, until I looked at my Instagram today. Others were sharing their results of some test, and I realized it’s what was Hannah had been talking about last week. Eni-eni-gram, or something.

Well, of course, I followed the flock and took the test. With each question, I was more annoyed at myself for wasting time with a stupid test.  Oy. I don’t need anyone tell me I have a terrible personality. I already know this, OK? Anyway, at the end of the test they give you three choices, each one assigned a number, and say they’ll email you your ultimate answer. I still haven’t received the email, so I’ll never know my real number. (The 14 is my three results combined.) Good grief, Charlie Brown. 

It’s a rainy day today. In the 50’s. Not typical weather for Christmastime, but I’ll take it. Christmas is inside. I don’t need snow.

My granddaughter loves my Christmas tree. Well, she loves all Christmas trees. I’m going to be really sad to take mine down, though, because it makes her so happy each time she sees it. “Tree! Big tree!” She says it each time, as though it’s the first time she’s seen it. If the lights aren’t turned on, she will gently insist on it.

I’m at the end of a major purge of stuff. I think this is the fourth time in my life I’ve done this. It’s disgusting how much stuff I willingly burden myself with, stuff that brings me no pleasure at all. Such a waste of life.

Doug is working a lot these days. It’s all good. God has opened many doors, and that’s cause for thanksgiving. I married a saxophone player, you know? His only aspiration in life was to play jazz. I think about that and just marvel at who he is today. Would I have ever imagined I’d be married to a prison chaplain? Never! God’s ways aren’t our ways, and I’m so thankful for that.

I wanted to share my tree with you, and discovered I had deleted the photos from my phone, before uploading them to Dropbox. I did share some of them on Instagram, though. So, here is the link to the tree picture, and if you swipe you can see the ornament parade – if you’re interested. I don’t know how to reclaim photos from IG, but I’ll have to look into it. I guess I can get them from Facebook, where I shared them last week. If you happen to know about IG, though, please tell me in a comment.

Merry Christmas! ❤
