Silent in all

Christmas with no snow – sad start. Redefining yourself within the larger family – intriguing task. Children all joy and playful as kittens; with big smiles on their little faces and sparkles in their eyes as they rushed to the Xmas tree almost knocking it over. Presents, toys and Santa were their only thoughts. Felt like all stood still and I remembered why humanity does not entirely suck. There is still something to look upon and be amazed. Another year added to what is supposed to be a life; but what counted this year were the smiles and calm moments; family snapshots. Since my wish-list was filled with pretty much nothing and autumn leaves; it ended up better than ever. One’s holiday is a good as one’s soul is.
