Nonetheless, we sit there, atop our toboggans, and gaze toward the future.
The anticipation of the winter holidays, the check-list of preparedness, the thrill of it all!!
suddenly the holiday season comes into full swing!
Before we realize it we are flying down the hill!
but instead it's as though we received a great strong push from behind!
Hang on! We're about to go over a huge bump!!
- that's when you know that the thrill of the ride is secure in your heart!!
As much as we "prepare" for it, it's never the same from year to year.
It all comes down to perspective and gratitude.
Let your heart be filled with child-like wonder at the holidays!
and the sparkle of the lights and let your heart say, "Woo-hooo!"
Embrace your family and friends - tightly!
Smile, love, be thankful for all that you have and all you can give!
...expel a hearty laugh and proclaim, "Let's do it again!"
