FATIGUE FACTOR

12/11/10 Last night’s Christmas party was fun even if we all were a bunch of “Friday Tired” teachers. Anyone who has ever taught understands that term. Our spouses are used to us forgoing Friday night entertainment because of this syndrome. But…..it’s the holiday. We all rallied. The fatigue factor was shelved for the night!

The Exner’s home was warm and inviting and the flying pigs on the mantel (Jeanne’s newest addition to her holiday décor) were delightful. How fun to get to know folks apart from the work setting. Good food, fun folks and lots of laughter made for a cheery evening. My laughter increased when I saw the "nap" napkins that Michelle, the other hostess, had put at the dessert table. The message put a smile on all our faces----those of us who share the “Friday Fatigue Factor” but had chosen to banish it and enjoy each other.

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: (Proverbs 15:13a)
