377 days, blog #137 or three things I learned today

1. Putting lights on a Christmas tree is kind of like cutting up mushrooms.  It always seems like there are a lot of lights until you put them on the branches… then it doesn’t seem like enough.  Just like you cut up a whole box of mushrooms and then they really don’t amount to much in the end.

2. No matter how old I get, I will always find a simple awe in glancing at the Christmas tree full of lights.

3. Sometimes it is okay to put aside all the other todos of the weekend to just spend some more time in front of the Christmas tree.
