Christmas Day

Today I learned that the thief took several of the Christmas presents that had been wrapped and under the tree.  Thankfully, I didn't learn about it until after Christmas dinner when my wife discovered that a gift to her mother was missing, and I remembered a sweater that I had wrapped for my wife and it too wasn't there. 

I would like to say that this didn't affect any of us but that wouldn't be true.  I am dealing with it but feel that learning about the stolen gifts brought back all the feelings from Friday when I learned that the rings had been stolen.  I'm sure that I'll deal with this latest insult okay.  But having to call the police again is just another agitation.  I am wondering now what else I'll discover to be missing.  

I need to get to a meeting for sure.  I need to get my mind off this whole thing and focus on something that is good, happy and peaceful.  

I hope that each of you had a wonderful day.  The day itself is still wonderful no matter the circumstances that interjected themselves into it.
