Day 24 ~ This Moment...
I meant to post this last night after I had finished the wrapping and the taping and the bow-ing...but the hours stretched on and before I knew it, it was way too late to try and string any thoughts together.
I am grateful for the stillness that is late night on Christmas Eve, or perhaps even pre-dawn on Christmas Day...when all of the things that can be done have been done and all there is to do is exhale. That moment when you step back away from the tree, see the pretty packages reflecting the warmth of the lights, and can imagine that in just hours all of the surprises will be revealed, and that laughter and joy will fill the day. Yes...this moment.
