Hot coco and warm fuzzy slippers. A blanket and my book. Sitting on a couch- in my living room.
ZOOM OUT

My house in my neighborhood. The cars the dogs the bushes the trash cans.

ZOOM OUT

The town and the coastline. The bay to the gulf (sorry geography may be hard to imagine) The land in between with streets and buildings and neighborhoods.

ZOOM OUT

The state. And the clouds that swirril above it.

ZOOMING STILL

The curviture of the earth- the sun rising over it if you wish :)

ONE LAST ZOOM

Our beloved planet from the moon.

This is not a reading rainbow world- where imagination can rule your heart. But if we lose sight of where we are, and the wonder of it all- where will we be this holiday season. Christmas is great but the whole world does not expect to spend thousands of millions$ on gifts. Hug the ones you love. The money is not worth you being depressed or stressed out on what you can or cant get. Cause truly we are just little people in our homes, on a planet, in one solarsystem, in one galixy- (on a frog on a log in a hole on the bottom of the sea) Not to make you or me feel small (we are) but to remind all of us that the celebration of a holiday is smaller than we are. It does not define us- it is just something we CHOOSE to do. Celebrate- and try to not get any more elaborate than your means can provide. Christmas was not started as a gift giving benge- it began as a celebration of a gift recieved. So celebrate it! and keep in mind also that every day is a gift to be celebrated! Not one of them is promised to us- but we recieve and forget to thank the giver of all good things.
