Sitting here in the quiet of a little snow outside, I smiled at - TopicsExpress

Sitting here in the quiet of a little snow outside, I smiled at myself that I had fallen asleep last night on the couch while enjoying some late night solitude in the company of my Christmas Tree, knitted Minion Hat in hand. Funny how that happens - turning off all other lights and just enjoying the glow of a Christmas tree..... After a focused 30 days of thanks, late last night, I was actually enjoying being thankful for much in my life. I had a fun day yesterday, with the Christmas Bazaar and my purchases (the aroma of a Christmas candle burning, too, from the bazaar and my ME Preschool wreath, cedar garland to come soon, presents purchased too!), a nice dinner with friends, and then seeing the sadness expressed of a lost young movie actor who was on his way to/from a fundraiser for the Philippines (a quiet statement of who he was).......and that amplified even more the sense of being thankful. Im thinking that there are a dozen families just in Sitka I the past two months that lost a loved one. There are families out there that have lost a loved one in military service to us. There are friends, loved ones, or others struggling with health or with their choices in life.......that have left them heavy in heart. And it diminished any challenge I might have in life.......and it amplifies that which is to be thankful for. This quiet, still dark Sunday morning, as we turn the page to December and continue this season of Thankfulness....... Do I wish things might be a little better, a little different, sharing/enjoying life with someone, happier? You bet! Yet, I see the reality of life being pretty okay - as I have relit my candle this morning, enjoyed waking up to the glow of the Christmas tree lights, smiling at my Minion hat......and think - If I want, expect more from life or think why me I might never get there, I might never be happy with me, I might forget to live life while waiting for/expecting more. Im going to enjoy my coffee this morning, and smile about family, friends, and the ones I love that are near and far, this morning as I enjoy you and what you mean to me. And wish for good things upon you. Cheers.......

Just one of those days. Went to sleep with a smile from watching
