Enjoy the Beauty of the Season and Surround Yourself with Those Who Really Care

I am sitting in our living room, enjoying all of the Christmas lights. Yes, we still have our Christmas tree up! I don’t take it down until the end of January. The beauty of the season doesn’t need taken down the minute Christmas is over. Beauty should be enjoyed as long as possible.

I get up early every day, enjoy a cup of coffee and look at the Christmas tree. This year, we decorated it with blue lights and silver, blue and white decorations. It is breathtaking. Jeff and I both adore the color blue. I also crochet early in the morning while all is still quiet outside. I have a light that goes around my neck so I can see to crochet and yet don’t have to turn on the lights in the house. I saw this light advertised and wondered if it would really be as good as they said. I checked the reviews and they were all good. I just put it on my neck, like a necklace, but it is open in the front. There is a light on each end that has 3 different light settings. It is amazing! I can also read in bed with it and not bother Jeff!

The Christmas tree isn’t the only Christmas decor I enjoy. I have many snow globes Whitney has bought me for Christmas every year. I didn’t get a new one yet this year, it is running late! I will get it later this month. I am so excited! I saw the picture of it and it’s beautiful!

I also put lights on the fireplace, and have other lighted decorations. I love the lights and sounds of the season! I have many Christmas houses too! Our house is full, and that is fine because it is full of joy and beauty!

I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and the New Year! We didn’t get to be with all of our loved ones, but that is life. When people don’t welcome me or even ask how I am, then I don’t want to be with them either. Jeff and I have made our own decisions and know that being with those who really want to be with us are the only people we want around. That isn’t hard to figure out.

Enjoy the beautiful January weather we are having. What a blessing it is!

God Bless all of you. May God surround you with those that truly love and care about you!
