Favorite Time of The Year
This is my favorite time of the year
I love December because it is the season of giving and gratitude
Long days with family festively celebrating life and our blessings
My greatest gifts came in this season
Starting with Thanksgiving, when our youngest son Mateo was born into our life
Moving to December when not only my husband but other two sons, Jarrett and Pablo were born
These men are my blessings, greatest joy and life purpose
Sharing this season with them as we gather together makes me so happy
Letting go of all my to do’s and plans to buy a Christmas tree, take a walk, or just sit and talk
Making a shopping list so they can run to the store and fill the house with their favorite foods so I don’t have to is the best present of time and love
Being spoiled as they cook the dinners and do the dishes
Having Kyla, my niece here to help with our dad is another gift
A girl in the house brings a joy all its own
Grabbing all the things around the house that need to get done and checking them off her list
Wow!!! I am counting my blessings as will the boys when our dishwasher arrives
We have lived without one through Covid...yikes!
It is a busy month filled with decorating, reflecting and joyful celebration
Lighting the house, our Christmas tree and flickering lights in our town
Sitting by the fire with a puzzle, favorite book or movie to watch
Slowing down as the year comes to a close
Seeing friends and finding the perfect gift for those we love
Time to remember what truly matters
The gift of love reflected in our family, friendship and our hearts
So take this time and reflect on the light inside of you
The joy that shines in your heart
How you have grown this year
All the dreams and hopes you will plant in the new year
Make a plan, set your intentions, dream bigger than your fears
And let’s all shine more love in 2021
The world needs our light
I am so grateful for you in my life
Thank you for listening to my heart
And sharing yours with me
What a gift it is
