My Favorite Time of the Year
This morning I got in and fired up my favorite Christmas song playlist and plan to just listen to it over and over all day long. This is my favorite time of the year. I love the music, it makes me feel peaceful, and thankful, and that's a really good place to be.
Every day is not going to be perfect. There are times things still get me a little down... OK, there are times that things get me a lot down, but as long as I can stay focused on the meaning of Christmas, and why we are here, then it doesn't last long.
I don't have a big christmas tree like I used to. But the little tree I have now I leave up all year around because I don't want to let go of this feeling. It makes me feel better to see it each day, and hopefully very soon I'll be at peace much more of the time. But life is what it is, and I need to just keep moving.
But I am blessed. Very blessed.
This was the last family Christmas Tree I had... and it was very beautiful.
