If Christmas is all about love (which I think is the general idea) then I am having a beautiful Christmas Day.

I have people in my life to love. I have one man in my life to lavish love on – and who sent me one of the most loving messages I have ever received. It may just be the best gift I have ever been given.

It’s true – the best gifts are never material – they are thoughts and feelings and intentions.

I feel blessed.

And Abby and I took a wonderful hike today – Roberts Roost and all the Ridges. We were surrounded by beauty.

And then I came home and had a bath with the bath bombs Alisa made. Bliss!

Gratitude spilling over.

And there’s even more to look forward to the rest of the day: a movie and a glass of wine! Yup! Celebration!

And speaking of celebration: two nights in a row of silence (read – no rats).

Blessed? You bet!
