Faith

The sun is back again today so I managed to get out for a walk and enjoy it.  It is amazing how much better I feel when the sun is out.

Merry Christmas

 I am still struggling to cool the room down.  I have to keep restarting the AC after 6 minutes and I get distracted and forget to do it - so the room isn't getting any cooler.  Hopefully the air temperature starts dropping a bit soon so the AC doesn't have as much work to do to cool the room down.

Faith

This ended up being a think outside the box card.  I had this image and inspired by the word "faith", I thought of a Christmas card with some sort of Christmas/church type background paper.  I found that I had this one in a Kaisercraft paper pad that I hadn't used.
