I wasn’t sure if I would, should, or could put up the Christmas tree, and decorations this year, or not.
I did.
And I’m so glad I did. It has helped so much to lift my spirits this holiday season. It’s only the second time Christmas decorations have been enjoyed here since we moved.
The living room has always been so full of “stuff” that there was no room to put up the tree. The tree isn’t very big, 6ft. tall, and the base isn’t very wide, about 4 1/2 ft, but because there is so much less “stuff” in here now, there’s plenty of room to accommodate it.
I’m not going to go on about how my heart is still quite empty, and how sad I am that Ivan isn’t here to enjoy what I’ve done, but let me just say that without the support of my loved ones, life right now would be so much more difficult than it is.
Thank you, each of you, you know who you are. I’m not going to name names as I have no idea who all reads my silliness. Those of you of whom I am aware, you’ve made a huge difference in my life. I cannot thank you enough.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the love of the Lord.
Post script: here’s a photo of the living room as of today.
