Softest blanket to sleep with…reminding me how blessed my life is… called a Prayer Blanket… by Kaitlyn and Tommy!
Remember how artists like to depict the four seasons… for human aging … Summer, Spring, Fall and Winter? Have loved thinking I am perpetually Fall… but lately my body clock has started transitioning me into early winter… and it doesn’t like winter at all. 
As I reflected back on the 2022 Christmas yesterday afternoon… all my gifts received promoted warmth on our coldest Christmas since Christmas of 1989-the white Christmas following Hurricane Hugo … both low temperatures tied at 16 degrees.
As I am slowly transitioning into the winter phase of life… an emphasis on needed warmth doesn’t just apply to actual cold temperatures but to the importance of retaining warm memories … like those of Christmas 2022 -memories that will prove more healing than any medicine -producing a warm heart.
Last evening when I was still reflecting on Christmas Day-family and friends…John O’ Donohue’s Christmas Benediction, once again reminded us to make every day be filled with Christmas joy!
So until tomorrow… “May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.” MERRY CHRISTMAS!
