Another Christmas has passed, almost. The tree is disassembled and laid out on a table ready for packing along with the other decorations that I put out. It’s all a challenge for me as at this point I expect it will be the last time I get it out. It needed to be done this year but I'll make another decision next Dec. The Good Lord willing. Knowing that each tiny Nativity set, Santa, wreath and decoration was a treasured item to Sherry. Understanding that as deeply as I do, I’m mixed with not wanting to ever see it again, leaving it up a while longer or donating it as quickly as I can. I already know what my heart has decided but my mind is rebelling. Rebelling, something I’m very adept at doing. I’ll go ahead and announce that I’m packing it all up, carefully, and storing it way – Just Because.
It was indeed a mixed bag of intense emotions for me this year. A mix of fun highs and certainly some very low lows. While everyone was here in front of the fire, laughing and eating and, yes, being a little foolish from time to time. One moment I was laughing like a fool and the next moving away to get control of the “missing emotion.”
Yes, I am going to stop spilling my emotional guts on the internet, someday, maybe. I have Christmas cards to reply to and things to attend to and Oh Yeah some packing to do. I’m waiting for it to warm up a bit outside. Cold hands are not the best tools for packing fragile items, that whatever their future is, I don’t want them damaged or destroyed on my watch.
Now comes New Years. Hum
