Christmas is over, pretty much. The tree is too dry to turn the lights on and I need to see where to take it for recycling this year. I think last year, the city just let you put it at the curb, but I have no idea. It was a nice tree and a good Christmas, spent with eight of our friends and family in our little tiny apartment. It's good to be able to have people in our home. There was a time when I was in another place and it was not such a happy home. Sure, it had all the "trappings" of "happy', but that was just the surface that the outside world was shown. There is nothing like waking up and feeling a peace in your heart and that sigh of contentment that comes from being truly happy. You can have all the material comforts of life and not be happy. I am looking at my life and realizing I have it pretty good. I am blessed with the love of family and friends and that in itself is my "Christmas miracle"
I have to work the rest of the week and I missed a trip to Vegas with my mother-in-law and my husband, two of the best traveling companions in the world. I hope they are having a blast and come home with great stories and GREAT winnings! Sunday can't come soon enough for me. I am taking time to reflect on the year and count my blessings, being grateful for what I have and not looking at what I don't. I have wonderful friends and family. My life is peaceful, I no longer live in the center of the cyclone and for that I am eternally grateful.
