Count down to

Christmas has started and of course the tree is up and the lights are on.

The stockings are hung over the fireplace, and the joy and delight are just building up inside.

Like a child, you are excited not for the gifts but for the time off to spend with those you love dearly.

With a bit of time left to reflect as the year slowly ends, you smile at all the fond memories you made this year and all the new people you let in.

And how much you grew, and how much those that genuinely care have shown you so much love and support.

You can say this has been a great year even when things didn’t go your way. Things still somehow worked out for you.

And that in itself is a blessing for you. For so many didn’t make it this year and so many won’t get to see the end.

But forever in our hearts, they will be as we live on for them and take as many risks as possible, for we know tomorrow isn’t promised.
