This week has been busy coming together with loved ones near and far. I’m grateful for:
- beautiful days and family walks;
- Christmas Eve service with friends;
- cards from friends and family with annual letters and handwritten wishes;
- the most wonderful neighbors – bringing good cheer and love;
- time spent with family celebrating, reminiscing, smiling, laughing, and crying;
- new quotes placed around the house to help with our growth and positive mindset;
- technology (yes) for connecting us via video (or phone, or text) to aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents to share Christmas wishes;
- Mon Cœur’s (MC) enthusiasm, especially Christmas morn, ripping off as many shreds of paper as possible before revealing her gift;
- Chouchou for helping continue a family tradition.
I am grateful for this and so much more, and anticipating the start of a new year and more to be grateful for…
