THAT'S what it's all about..

Mike's flight should land in about 2 hours. He took the train into Portland Airport and tells me a story about a woman he met there. She was older, and left her purse on the train. The airport wouldn't let her on her flight without I.D. She couldn't get money from her bank....no I.D. she wanted to take a bus back home but no money. Mike tried to buy her bus ticket but she was too embarrassed or proud or just felt awkward, and before he could buy it, she left.

My point is, he was 'living' Christmas. Don't you love that? He volunteers at the food bank, he sees someone in need and steps up. I have known my man for about 15 years (so he reminds me ;)..) and I love the person he's become. He's always been painfully compassionate, caring, in tune. The older we get the more comfortable we are in our skin.

I have not talked to my older son in quite some time. I think 'what could I have done better...differently'. And although my younger son is doing great, there is a hole in my heart. Time and faith are what I lean on. I am so thankful and blessed with a great partner. I want everything I do and say to reflect it. I need to 'live' Christmas more.

Blessings to all of you this holiday season and warmest wishes to fulfill all your goals in 2007!


'Living' Christmas...it's a beautiful thing!!
