Awe – It’s Over
As the last of the Christmas decorations were returned to the walk up attic it was bitter sweet. It’s over. It’s done. It will take a while before sipping hot coffee or hot coco in my favorite chair in the living room will be as satisfying. For me there is just this magical trance that takes over the home with the lit Christmas tree: peace on earth, good will toward men. So that is the bitter side of the day. The sweet part is that the 2014 year may bring – and I am sure will bring – many wonderful surprises and changes that will affect Stauffer Avenue. I am totally open for it. Bring it on. Life does not happen by looking in the rear view mirror. I have my windshield washed and polished and keeping the lights on bright as to not miss a single thing.
