You heard the saying... Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and it was... and I give thanks for it all – for the gathering of clan and kin around the table in the closeness of here and the familiarity of beyond, for holiday cheers, laughter and bounty overflowing, but this perfect gentle stillness where emptiness meets quietness is a gift too.
"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred,
and we are better throughout the year for having,
in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."
Quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder
So very true.
ReplyDeleteI hope your dreams come true this new year coming up as well. Hugs.
I love your side bar "Come Let's Have some TEA" thing, did you make that or find that somewhere? Would love to "borrow" it - please advise. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMichele... oh do please borrow it! It's for all of us kindred in spirit... Love ya!
ReplyDeleteFeliz Ano Novo!
