Friends of mine believe that Christmastime brings out the best in people. It didn't seem that way to me until I decided to genuinely look for little kindnesses, acts of selflessness, and distinct moments of peace - to try to see what they see. When I paid attention and took notice, I did see things differently. What a good way to spend time; looking for and finding joy and goodness, surrounding ourselves with wonderous moments of peace and being grateful. My thanks to Tim and Gina for sharing their views on this season and for so much more.
Now, they also start listening to the Christmas channel on the radio about this time of year and that is not a trait that I'll follow any time soon!
So here are just a few of the things that I am particularly grateful for;
Friends who show us possibilities and encourage us along the way.
Every New England season that changes our environment in lovely ways.
Laughter, friendship, kinship.
Wonderful people; friends and family.
Lifelong friends, through the years, through each stage of life.
Creativity, shared interests, trusting friendships.
Celebrations.
Great times, great places, great people, great memories!
Quilting as a creative outlet, great fabrics, and the tactile satisfaction of making something.
Wherever you are, whomever you are with, whatever your circumstances, I hope you experience gratitude this season. It's good for the soul.
