How is it already Advent?

Joel, Quin and I took the warm temperature as an opportunity to walk to church today. To be honest, it's been a while since we've been there. Between Quin's nap schedule and our work we just have not made it a priority over the past few months. It had become such a low priority that I didn't even realize it was already Advent! Though I should have known - people are getting their Christmas trees, holiday music is on the radio. This year is just flying by and I am barely keeping up with it all.

Today's service was a folk service. The music was great and just enough to get me in the spirit, but not completely over the top. I think that's what I love about Plaza. I find so much peace there. The services are relatively low key and it gives me an hour to just sit and reflect. It doesn't hurt that I also put my child in the hands of a trustworthy teenager and don't have to worry about what he is getting into. I need this time to find my center going into the week. It's one thing I know I can do once a week to get my head back together. Now is just a matter of doing it on a regular basis.
