Some jumbled thoughts on such joyful things…….
Every year during Christmas time I get excited not only for
the holiday BUT for the Christmas Lights.
There is something very joyful about driving around your
town, looking at Christmas lights.
A town that is normally dark and quiet, is automatically
transformed to something bright and joyful and a delight to see.
I will admit, I used to be very judgmental about Christmas
lights-if you mixed different sets and they didn’t exactly match perfect or if
the outline of your house wasn’t perfectly straight. I was a brat about it and
I would tell anyone who was around.
This year, I am approaching Christmas lights with a
different perspective. I don’t know exactly what changed my perspective this year but it sure has brought me a lot more joy.
If you and your family have taken the time and money to put
out whatever type of decorations/lights/Christmas Cheer, I am so happy to see
it. You spent your time and hard earned money on decorating, you should be proud of what you put out for others to see. I will drive by and stop and stare and admire what you have accomplished.
I think we all need a bright spot in our lives to keep us going, especially in the world we live in now. These bright spots show us that even in the darkest of times, there is a light, no matter how small. That light is what is going to help you keep going. I think Christmas lights are the perfect reminder that things will always work out, but it takes time and patience to get to the spot you want to be.
