Peace of mind

Good Wednesday morning!

If I could give away what I have right now, I would. If I could simply transfer it, I would. If I could just wave a wand and make it happen, I would. It's worth more than anything I've ever had, or will ever have.

What is this treasure I have right now? 'Peace of mind.'

This, EVEN after hearing a discussion on what to buy or not to buy for your spouse this Christmas. Last year at this time, my eyes would have welled up with tears at the mere thought of spousal gifts.

I don't know exactly how or when it happened, but now when I think of holiday memories, I think about my Mom and Dad and the wonderful Christmas's we had when they were alive. I'm SO grateful that my mind goes there.

I noticed this morning that my home is really quite sparsely decorated for Christmas. Perhaps next year I'll get myself some pretty decorations and do it up the way I used to love to. For right now, it's perfect.

I have a Christmas party here Friday night with a group of ladies, so I need to get moving!

For those of you grieving this holiday season, please know that by GOING THROUGH IT, you will come out the other side. My friends and family could easily confirm how terrible last year was for me. This year? They're just happy I'm.......back.
