I’m down fourteen pounds
my body is smiling, too
this gift won’t curse me

for things wanted and revered
growth is such progress

these precious children
push joy deep into my soul
sweet saving graces

We enjoyed ourselves at my cousins’ house earlier today. This evening has proven to be such a great evening, considering I was without power for nearly 8 hours, but blessed to have spent most of my day enjoying it with family.

I am taking a short break away from blogging and reading to simply experience every precious moment that I can during this holiday.

I will return this coming Tuesday morning, December 27, 2022.

Happy Holidays, beautiful people. Enjoy Christmas as much as you can, if you celebrate it. Remember, you can be kind first; always be kind, first.
