1. Met with friends tonight. Lovely. The subject was one we all connected with: feelings.
2. Visited Christmas Lane in the island town of Alameda. A wonder for the eyes.
3. This week is the
culmination of many weeks of patience. I will enjoy the clarity and honesty of this time. This will be two hallmarks of the conclusion of this year.
4. I'm working on this year's Christmas story. It's fun exercising creativity and wordsmithing.
5. The meaning for this season. Jesus. Celebrating His birth, not gifts.
6. I am thankful for the best year in my life. I have grown more this year than any other.
7. I appreciate the ongoing growth in living life more richly. Learning how to connect with others, not letting past baggage to interfere with my being present.
8. I appreciate being able to express myself calmly, warmly and clearly while also being true to my values.
9. I am grateful for the calmness I enjoy, even during highly stressful times or when I am with less than pleasant people.
How About You?
What are your gratitudes for this Christmas season?

I am sorry for not replying sooner. for some reason common, each time I tried replying---which was 3 times---what I wrote was erased. I'm glad today I'm able to post. Thank you for your comment and the link to the music. Isn't it terrific you were able to get away during the holiday season?
It's clear, you love your son, grateful for the gift he is for you. I hope this year you find the happiness and strength you need to deal with all that this year offers. Thank you for dropping by, reading and commenting!
