Before We Greet A New Year

I hope you find some time this week to get really, really quiet.  To curl up in a big, cozy chair and watch a movie you’ve seen a million times before.  To hug the people you love.  To wrap up in a warm blanket and read a good book.  To drink hot cocoa from a Christmas mug.  To stand outside in the crisp night air and marvel at the stars.  To give someone a gift that makes them smile, or even cry (in the good way).  I hope you find some time this week to sit silently in front of your life and contemplate how magical it really is, before we turn the page and greet a new year.
