Joy Cometh in the Morning

Or so they say. "They" being, in this case, Psalm 30, and various songs based thereupon.

I am not a morning person. For me, joy cometh not in the morning. Sadness, irritability, anger and other such emotions unrelated to joy cometh in the morning. The ability to Commune With Other Human Beings cometh at around 9am. Joy cometh, at the earliest, 1pm. Unless it is a Saturday, the only day when joy cometh in the morning, when I realize I do not need to get up just yet.

There is, however, one hint of joy in most of my mornings. When I walk past a tire store on my way to work in the morning, I am greeted by a large Chow Chow and a small Chow Chow who are tied outside. Occasionally, if he is untied at the moment, the small one will try to accompany me to work. He is my friend. He is puffy. Funny puffy dog=joy.

A Ridiculously Long Time Between Posts

So, now that no even checks my blog anymore because it has been so long since I last posted....

I shall post.

Christmas was great for the following reasons:

• Carley came home. (She proceeded to leave again but that didn't make Christmas good.)
  
• Melissa, Diedre, Aaron, Jan, Paul, Michelle and Trevor all visited. Fun Times.
• I had a week off work.
• I shopped for books at a bookstore in which I needed A SHOPPING CART.
  
• I saw many babies: Abby, Aydan, Naomi and Kaedmon. Babies Everywhere.
• Did I mention the store where I bought books and used a cart?
• Jesus was born.
• I stayed with my family for a few days and just hung out. It is always wonderful to be with them.
  
• Riley wore antlers.

Yes, it was all very fun.

And now, I shall begin 2007, being resolved to not make resolutions.
