And so this is Christmas
and what have you done ♪ ♪
I awake from a sound sleep
in complete darkness
it’s 4:18
half of the bed is still empty
while my mind starts to gather scenarios
I decide it’s best to slip out of bed
and see if my husband has made it home
from work
part way down the stairs
I can see him
asleep in the chair
a busy season for him has now
come to a close
the kids are all home
and so today
we begin our
bliss
December 24, we close our doors
and it’s
just
us
and this
this is my favourite time
with my favourite people
surrounded with Love
and laughter
and for me
my peace
I haven’t had much time lately
for reading,
or for writing
yet I continue to wander
as I do
and observe
the makings of this life
I am often gathered in swells of
great gratitude
for the beautiful things that fill
my heart
and most of them
are contained
here
here we follow our own
traditions
we are ease
and comfort
we are Joy
and we are Kindness
we can be LOUD
and wonderfully wacky
yet, we can each find
a quiet corner
when we need it
so yes,
this is what I am wishing then
for you
in whatever it is you may be
celebrating
in whatever way
you choose
May you be at ease
May you be comfort
and Joy
May you find Kindness
where you are
and quiet
when you need it
and May you always
open your heart
to the sights
and sounds
that bring Love
and Beauty
to
you
and
May You
be
Peace
my Gratitude to you
for walking with me
here
Brightest blessings
my friends
and as always,
I hope
in the softness
of your heart
this finds
you
well ♥
