Wow. I am not sure how much more blessed I could possibly be after this Christmas season!!
I have been blessed to be able to see my family and enjoy some long overdue quality time with them, while also enjoying a field trip to the Biltmore. I have been blessed to be able to celebrate my birthday with my family and with my boyfriend. I've been blessed to have time off from work to spend with family for Christmas and my birthday. I've been blessed with financial means to travel, celebrate, gift, and even pay off my student loan in the process. I've been blessed with the love of God through his only Son -- whose birthday we get to celebrate this week. And I've been blessed enough to have Christmas Day off of work to spend with Daniel's family -- celebrating together.
Not to mention, that after this Christmas season, I pretty much have a new wardrobe, new watch/accessories that I had been lacking, new towels, new sheets, three new pairs of shoes, a new-to-me Bernina sewing machine (along with all the accessories, more fabric, and a sundry collection of quilting books and notions), and a variety of other small things that my everyday routine was missing out from (you know, those little things that just makes your life that much more comfortable -- like shaving cream, foundation, bath gel, shampoo, socks, etc).
Of course, Christmas is not just about presents or the things that you get. Which is why I feel even more blessed to finally have a better understanding of this! I've always known what Christmas celebrated, but I don't think I ever fully grasped the gravity of the event. Granted, I still don't (and probably never will) understand it totally, but it's really sinking into my heart this year just how special a celebration this is!
I look ahead to the coming year of 2013, and it is full of hopes, dreams, goals, and plans. I am looking forward to creating a vision board (a picture of which I will share here) that culminates all of these things that shows not just where I want to go and what I want to accomplish next year, but it also demonstrates just how much I have grown this year!
Life is good, Thanks Be to God.
