I sometimes forget. At this time of year there is so much going on - and it is contrary to what I think winter and the holiday of Christmas should be.
The bears and most animals are smarter than we are I think. They slow down, they tunnel in, they REST at this time of year. But what do we do? We eat too much, move too little, worry and scurry....
Winter is so beautiful here in WI and I want to take more time to enjoy it. The snowfall the other night was so beautiful! The tail lights and stop lights and holiday lights make the drive so festive. The warming joy hot chocolate brings!
I think of the warming fires for the shepherds in the fields, the dazzling light in the sky, the joy the birth of our King brought... and yet there was hurrying and scurrying going on according to that story too. People coming into town from everywhere and not enough room for everyone to stay. Stress as a baby is about to be born - oh my gosh - can you imagine dealing with that?!
But then there was rest and celebration and peace and joy.
I hope you find these things during this time of year. That is my wish for you - to remember the reason for this season.
Love, Carol
