I am thankful…
- That even after 3 years of marriage, my husband has not outgrown holding my hand in public
- For parents who will never ever give up looking after you, even when you have a family of your own
- For wonderful extended family who will make plans with you for an impromptu international trip
- For long-suffering friends who patiently bear my ramblings and willingly enable my fleeting passions
- For the bubbling laughter of a baby
- For a deaf, abandoned CH kitten who purred his way into my home and my heart
- For those who believe their purpose in life is to teach, in word and in deed
- For technology that can be brutally divisive but also wondrously unifying
- For the kindness of strangers
- For my wanderlust and a partner who indulges it
- For cloudy days and winter showers
- For someone who patiently sat by my side and let me fall apart when I needed to
- For the power of words – invaluable to a wallflower like me
- For silences that speak louder than words ever could
- For narrow escapes and happy endings
Merry Christmas!
May your days be filled with love, light and laughter.
Stay blessed!

Thank you so much hun! :* That means a lot!
Why second thoughts? Because this was the first time I wrote a post that hit so close to home. The points are all vague enough but there are long, emotional stories behind each one. Looking back now I’m glad I hit Publish after all. Reading it now after about 3 months brings back so many warm memories 🙂
Thanks for commenting and bringing this back up in my feed 🙂
