I decided to do a short series on Zac's Place Facebook page about Advent. My theme is waiting. It seemed as we're waiting for Husband's operation it might be useful for me to look at what the various characters in the story did as they waited.
Last Sunday, First Sunday in Advent, I chose Mary. What did she do? She went to stay with her cousin, Elizabeth, who was also pregnant. It might have been a tactical removal: young girl, not married, gets pregnant by 'God'?
Anyway she went to stay with family where she could be helpful and be helped.
I don't have any - what do you call family that came before you? I don't have anyone close like that anyway, and my children have enough to do with their own families. I know they would do anything they could to help but there's nothing really until we have a confirmed date.
But this week two separate friends have messaged me and arranged to meet. I feel cared for and that helps a lot. (Again I know my family care for me!) I met Vivien today for ice cream at Verdi's. My exercise teacher and a few of her helpers were also there being restrained and drinking coffee so I waved my hazelnut sundae at them!

Currently doing Technology on Duolingo Welsh. You wouldn't believe how many technological words there are. I am struggling to remember them. Then again I struggle to remember plenty of words.
Oh, yes, like another Elizabeth, I have produced a Christmas message for my people! It's actually my article in the December issue of Gower Community Magazine, and you'll find it here. Page 26. I apologise for the photo at the top of the page. Not my choice.

Why on earth did the editors put that photo of Trump above your article? It has absolutely nothing to do with your theme!
It is so nice to see and be with friends

I guess because I mentioned the US election.
It is, Cathy.
Nice to meet with friends. I've been doing my Duo Lingo exercises 4 times each and I'm remembering much better.
It's nice when friends reach out for a get together. How odd that a picture of Trump is across the top of the page above your article.
I think the old quote is, “They also serve who only stand and wait.”
That’s what I think, but I am not going to look it up right now. 🤓
Yes, I have to repeat them lots of times.
It's a gift i think
Good friends are precious.
I think that's right, AC.
It's good to have caring friends.
A chat with a friends can be so helpful!
