Title: Christmas lights and Coffee~
Tags:
Blog Entry: It’s that most wonderful time of the year. It came too fast, but I am ready. Most of you who have been following my writings here should be familiar with my love of many things. Two of them are Christmas lights and coffee. These go together (to me) like ham and eggs. Let me explain. The house is currently quiet..for I’ve been sitting at my kitchen table working on Christmas cards. I think they’ll be done by this weekend. I’m also staring at an iced mocha frapp….it warms my soul..(even with ice). The Christmas music is playing ever so softly in the background. The Christmas lights outside my window make me smile. I know this evening, I’ll find myself once again enjoying a divine cup of goodness..no matter the flavor. For the weight of my coffee cup reminds me of the serenity of the darkness at the edge of those Christmas lights outside. And I’m doing what I love to do…writing. Creating a moment with words to share with friends and strangers. Like Christmas lights, these moments in time can transform our life stresses into a tranquil and peaceful escape. Coffee can do that too..no matter it’s temperature or flavor. This special season brings so much to be reminded of. My words may never change the world, but the aroma of a good cup of coffee, along with blinking, colorful lights, can surely ignite the inner child in us all. Sharing a moment of peace that shines like a Christmas tree can do wonders. So I hope this writing brings a connection for you in the simple things in life. Like a good cup of coffee, and those surreal Christmas lights..wherever you are seeing them. I hope my words here warm your heart. Even if it’s just for a few minutes. My mocha frapp is now empty, and the hours are ticking away. I must finish those cards. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas (and a good cup of coffee too)
