A Happy New Year in the Afterglow of Christmas

The glorious morning light shines on the Cottonwood trees outside our kitchen window; wintry and cold out there! But not nearly as cold as it is where some of our family and friends live! (Michigan and Boston! Brrrrrr!) I step into the dining room, coffee cup in hand, to look at the birds at the feeder, and I think, I am not quite ready to let go of Christmas. It was so sweet. Hence, one last picture of Christmas stockings lined up on the mantle, before I carefully tuck them away for next Christmas. Of course, it would not feel like a new year without a resolution. This year….I will do my best to listen more and try to understand the perspectives of others. Remembering all the while, that it is the little things that mean the most. Happy New Year!
