—WE CAN WATCH THE SNOW FALL, FOREVER AND EVER

 

 

SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO READ TODAY…

 

It is definitely enough. You have bought more than enough. Repeat…More. Than. Enough.

You cannot, CANNOT, please everyone. Some people will find issue in an empty room. Let them. You know who you are and your heart is most definitely in the right place. 

You’re supposed to enjoy this too. Memories are wonderful but they’re even better if you’re right in the middle enjoying. And get in the photos. That’s history right there.

None of the fuss really matters. Your time matters. Your intent matters. Your love matters.

Everything else is just frosting. 

No one remembers the gifts, a few years later. But you do very much remember the feelings of safety, of togetherness, of joy. Those Kodak moments, when the tree twinkles just as your loved ones laugh at the worst joke, and suddenly the world feels right. They stay. Watch for those, let everything else play out as it will.

And also, please, PLEASE sit down. Really sit down and take stock. You have created a world of love, you did that. Now enjoy it my friend. 

And for those you miss, call them close. 

They will come.
