Wonderland

In so many ways, it’s hard to believe 2013 is nearly behind us…and in so many ways, I wonder:

What took it so long?

In so many ways, my brain is starting to slowly turn into holiday mush…and in so many other ways, I’m waiting for some new adventure to begin:

Today?

When I feel this way (a little anxious, a little old, a little bored, a little dull), I try to summon my inner 13 year old…21 year old…35 year old…50 year old…and get excited about the next next thing:

Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

In the uncanny way that he has, I guess my mind-reading husband knew that I needed a little Christmas and created this Christmas canopy over the stairs leading to our front door.  It made me giggly and grateful for him, for my beautiful daughter, for the life I am so blessed to live every day.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. 

Onward!!!
