23 December 2011

Blessed.

As I sit here with my husband, I reflect on the past year.  It's been a year.  Up. Down.  Good. Bad. Ugly.  And every step of the journey has been worth it.  I like to say that I have no regrets.  I like to go through life experiencing everything.  I can't regret what has made me the person that I am today.  I can't.

Today we finished the holiday baking.  It was a long time coming.  It started at the beginning of the month.  Then life happened.  As it always does.  Why does it work like that?  I had intentions to finish and I lost my motivation.  I'll do it tomorrow.  Then tomorrow turned into to yesterday.  And before I knew it, December 23rd was here and I had only done one batch of holiday baking.  How could I finish my Christmas goodie baskets if I didn't start another batch of goodies?

I enlisted the help of hubby.  I love cooking and baking with him.  We have a groove in the kitchen.  An unspoken code.  I don't have to tell him what I need, he anticipates my next move.  Just as it is in every aspect of our life together.  It made me realize that I am very lucky to have that.  To have that person who is the other half of me. He completes me.  In every cheesy sense of the statement.

As I head to bed tonight, I send love and light to those who are feeling sad and alone this holiday season.  I pray that they find peace.  And I say a prayer of thanks for the blessings in my life.

I'm a lucky girl.
