My family. We had a nice meal at my son’s at Thanksgiving. Phone calls ,face time and texts from others.

My husband loved my son’s tree and I think we will be decorating this year. (He originally said we wouldn’t have to.)

(Karen talking of her son’s tree made me realize this is independence.) Proud of my children.

Time to get out my tin of Christmas pins. Polar bear today. Each pin has a story.

Tackling a pile of things that got taken out of the closet when grand daughter was leaving. By Monday it will be sorted.

Grateful for the abundance in my life. Grateful that problems get solved . Grateful to be in balance.Grateful to share.

We are listening to a Christmas song every night before bed.

Shopping for the children at Church. Hats to Jessica to honor Bob.

Katharine Garrett eloquently posted of his father’s death. I have never met him but as we pour out our souls here you find a bond.
