| Good Morning Girls....I am so happy....last night when my sweetie walked in the door ....he asked me ..."Do you feel good enough to go with me to get our Christmas Tree....I have one on hold"....of course my answer was ....YES....so I ran and got my jacket with a hood....another pair of socks.... and off we went to a neighborhood nursery that had some really tall ....thin....FRESHLY CUT....Trees.... |
 | ||
| Here she is....isn't she a beauty.....she is sitting in a tall bucket of water till tomorrow....after I get home from work we will begin transforming our brick beauty for the Holiday's.......I am over the moon....the temperature has finally dropped from the 70's to the low 40's....now it feels like Christmas...I am so thankful to have our tree....a plan....cooler weather....AND....a surprise bloom on our Christmas cactus to boot.... |
 | |
| I am reminded again and again how blessed I am....no matter what the circumstances....I have SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR....I have been reminded of this as I've been at work helping people with their Yankee Candle purchases....I have the opportunity to share a moment with each customer..as they graciously allow me a peek into the window of their lives....some have new baby's in strollers....some have family visiting ....some come in to just experience some aroma therapy.....sharing that they've lost their Jobs....or have illness in their family's...but here's the thing....I realize every day how precious....how fragile....how magnificent.... |
 |
| THIS WONDERFUL LIFE .....IS |
 |
| Even when we are challenged with seasons of want....we are blessed ....we can ALWAYS find a moment to thank our heavenly father for the provision of his love...peace...and tender watch care over our lives....I hope you all have a weekend full of family....warmth...happiness..... and a moment to take stock of the blessings in your life.....I am thinking of you all...I pray blessings over you today....big hugs too till next time.....Karena |
Oh dear Karena, I love it that you have your tree! I know you will have so much fun decorating it and after it is done... whew, what a feeling:)

Cooler temps indeed. It is cold here too. What a lovely post Karena, I too have a heavy heart this time of year for those who don't have even enough money to put food on the table, I try to share my blessings everywhere I go.
