I have decided and will repeat these simple words when the self inflicted crazy coo~coo~ness of this month start to fill my days....December Peace. I will remember the precious gifts that last forever and fill our hearts like none other...
For me, they include ~
the gleeful excitement of our young daughter...the posibility of snow...our Son home from the front lines of a scary war...my precious children...opportunities to be of service...a radio station that plays Christmas music all month...the smell of our recently gleaned pine tree...holiday wishes from a stranger...grocery bags printed with holiday greetings...Starbuck's Chrismas cups...duh!...a warm house...a pantry that has plenty....having plenty to share with others...a grateful heart ~it is the best feeling around!...a family that I love bunches and lots...friends ~ true friends, good friends...
But most of all...I will remember that this month has many opportunities to be
grateful...grace~filled...and choose PEACE.
Smiles ~ Ramona
