We celebrated our Christmas eve and Christmas this year with all our traditionals. Visits and fun times so good we forgot how many days had gone by. sleeping in late, Santa PJs, reindeer food, favorite movies. These certainly are the days to remember. From the candlelight church service, the most thoughtful gift exchange (one 13 year old boy made us all drawings complete with 10 things he loved about each of us on the back....tears anyone?) Playing with cousins, lauging with family, celebrating a soon to be retirement. Basement projects, yes, always a project. I think that's just the aweome thing about this family....wer'e celebrators. we're rooted deep in traditions. Traditions that we've all grown and tweaked and made our own, but traditions none the less. We get just as excited about sharing a new type of tea that is the best ever than we do the big, big stuff like graduations and retirements. Celebrating helps us get through tough stuff, great stuff and all the stuff in between. Now I've arrived here at this grown up place in my life (how did I get all the way here?), I know that finding stuff to celebrate everyday even when you don't feel like celebrating, that is what makes a good life regardless on one's circumstances. I just know it. Cheers.
