"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

Santa Claus was Early!

Santa Claus came a day early to our house this year to fit our schedule. It was so nice of him to be flexible for us. We hung our stockings and put out the milk and treats for him. Halle was most excited about the orange she found in her stocking this morning. Never mind the other stuff. She also got "shoes just like mommy." I wasn't aware that I had pink heels, but who knows. After we enjoyed our Christmas morning, we found her having good old fashioned fun in her "Herbie" car, otherwise known as the file box.



This picture is at Grandma and Grandpa's house from Monday. We celebrated early there too since half of our families who all live out of town were obligated to work on Christmas. We hope to see them soon in January. Halle got a cash register from Grandma that she knew exactly how to use, a Candyland game, and some light yellow playdough that we discovered makes a good plate of scrambled eggs.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas no matter when or where you get to celebrate. We miss seeing everybody that isn't with us this year, and we hope to see you soon. It's just not the same without you.
