I hope you all had a lovely time with your families. Here is a little glimpse into ours. I will have more for you as the week progresses.
Here we are enjoying the last Sunday in 2025. My goodness!
This is not going to be a long one as I am more than ready to go upstairs for the night but I will be back again tomorrow.
I thought I would leave you with this. I found it rather cute.
Lessons from a Christmas Tree: Be a light in the darkness. We all fall over sometimes. You can never wear too much glitter. Bring joy to others. Sparkle and twinkle as often as possible. It’s okay to be a little tilted.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
I like the fact that it’s okay to be a little tilted. Some days I feel like that!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you David and so do I :)
