I got up early this morning. Before everyone else. I haven`t done that in awhile and was immediately reminded of how happy this makes me feel.
So much less rushed and I can be way more go-with-the-flow! Which is a good and necessary thing with kids! But it`s also a thing that I struggle with. And so - getting up early in one way to address this.
Plus, I got to watch the sun rise and reveal a beautiful frosty winter wonderland in my backyard. I paused, took notice, and felt very thankful at that moment!
Not very long after, my phone rang. It was Karen, thinking the very same thing as me :) Which is often the case with BFFB`s I think.
We took hold of the moment and upon Karen`s suggestion, headed down to the river and embraced the beauty with our cameras.
It was so cold, but our true blue sky, paired with the sparkly frosty trees and a great friend made it so very worth it!Later our families joined us. And we enjoyed a drive through the Enchanted Forest, as well as a quick visit to the house decorated and choreographed to music.
A perfect way to celebrate Winter Solstice!

Thank you for all your chronicling again this year! I've been rather absent of late - battling a horrible flu/bronchitis (which is nasty with my asthma). And, the Christmas spirit banner has had to be carried by my hubby, who's done a great job, but it's so.not.like.me. Reading through your posts has just helped renew my dampened spirit a bit. Hopefully, come morning, I can find the energy to enjoy the magic of the season. Thank you Jenn. And, Merry Christmas!
