Simple Gifts
This morning as I sat down to write this little blog, I was reflecting on a couple of things from yesterday. I realized how a few simple gifts I received just made me smile. Sometimes people don’t realize how much they can affect someone with something so simple. As the old saying goes, “It’s the thought that counts”.…

Happy Place
Yesterday on social media I saw pictures of friends who were in their “happy place”. You know what I mean, the places they go where they feel total peace and happiness. I saw pictures of people at the beach, skiing in the mountains, hiking trails in the woods, and yes, even on the golf course. These are the…

When You Hear Thank You
Last night I fell into a pretty deep sleep, which is unusual for me. I’m a pretty light sleeper. Anyway, I was having a dream at one point and I woke up with a start, hearing the words clearly, Thank You. I almost immediately thought, “Ok, that’s the title of the little blog tomorrow morning”. I fell back…

Sorry let me clarify, it’s the day of the year when we have the least daylight and the longest night. Sooo, that means tomorrow…

Only Made with Love
Yep, we are just one week away from Christmas. As we all scramble to get those last things checked off the list, the last minutes gifts, the baking, Christmas cards, and parties, I hope we can find a moment to just be. I’m just as guilty as others, getting so wrapped up in the traditions and the…

Rose Sunday
One week from today is Christmas Eve. I know, if you are like me you are not quite sure where the entire year went, much less December. Today though, we celebrate Rose Sunday, or the third Sunday in Advent. We, like many, have an advent wreath displayed in our home. There is one pink candle among the three…

Saying Their Name
If you have read this little blog for long, you know that one of the organization’s my husband and I support is Wreaths Across America. Each year on the third Saturday of December, WAA makes the drive to Arlington National Cemetery with full-size semi trucks filled with handmade wreaths. These wreaths are placed on the graves of…

Hear the Melody
Last night while I was making dinner I heard one of my favorite Christmas songs. It’s sung by Josh Groban and if you’ve ever watched The Polar Express you know which song I’m referring to, (hint, I’ve also included it below in this little blog). Now don’t get me wrong there are many Christmas songs that I…
