Thanks doesn't say enough

I look around me today- NEARLY ready for the big holiday... and I'm awestruck by how lucky I am. We bought a new house this year, moved after 10 years in the same house, and have the kids established in a school they appear to love (with DESKS! they remind me). We went through many highs and lows. We recovered from both. So many friends were there when I needed them- in so many ways. Thanks really isn't enough.

So as I saw the sun set today, I turned from being sad that the Christmas season was nearly ending to realizing how exciting it will be to see the next year come. No resolutions- just excitement and some reflection on changes I need to make--- gradually... and none of them involving less chocolate...

Thank you to all, and to all a good night!
