A Very Simple Christmas

For some reason, this year Christmas is coming together almost too easily.  I decided to take some steps to reduce the possibility of becoming frantic, and I think it's working!  Starting the Christmas letter in November simplified a lot.  The extra time that created turned out to be a real luxury!  As for the tree...well, I haven't actually had one for a number of years.  But this year I felt a desire to get one of those little live trees growing in a pot.  Normally, if I were to go tree shopping it would be a horrendous ordeal for anyone tagging along, as I can blaze through hundreds of rows of evergreens before finding the "perfect" one.  But, this year the tree came to me as a gift, and my definition of perfect now described a tree very similar to the one that Charlie Brown acquired.  There's really nothing symmetric about it.  It isn't full and bushy, and it doesn't even stand up very straight.  But, I love it and wouldn't change it for anything!  I had to wonder if this meant I was becoming too easy to please, but a second thought convinced me that maybe contentment had finally worked it's way into my personality...and I'm ok with that:)

Preservation

I have an admirer who often gives me roses.  While I love how beautiful they look in a vase on the table, I can't help but feel a bit sad when they begin to droop.  Then I learned if, after a day or so, you remove them from the vase and hang them upside down to dry, they transform themselves into a new kind of beautiful.  Dried roses - the lasting kind.  Then I can just skip that whole sad part!

From Here to There...in a Chair

I love to explore!  But often don't have the energy it takes to get out and about.  Thanks to a computer, I've discovered a new way to travel...around the web, that is:)  What I've found is that adventure and inspiration can sometimes be just a click away!

Possibilities In Motion...

 ...a blog where you can come and relax for awhile, check out the links and hopefully find solutions for whatever concerns you may have today, or maybe just find some new ideas to ponder.  It's a place where "hope" is the starting point, indicating a destination awaits our pursuit; with a promise that perhaps if we dare  take a few steps in a positive direction that we will be on our way to a place that is new and different... and even if we don't arrive right away we'll know that we've begun to set our Possibilities In Motion.
