PULLED OUT ALL

Pulled out all the Christmas decorations this weekend and am aglow in many, many twinkle lights at the moment. Pass the cocoa! Reminds me of several months back, when a blackout rolled through the neighborhood just as day turned to night, leaving me scrambling to gather and light enough candles to push back the darkness and still allow some reading. The vanity mirror was a friend, doubling the light in its reflection. And when the power kicked back on? Tremendous gratitude! Hoping the month ahead holds heaps of all things bright and equally worthy of thanks for each of us.
