gathering

If you host holiday gatherings, then you are fully aware of all the preparation that it takes to make it all happen. The lists, the recipes, the shopping, cooking, planning and all can feel herculean but at the time of the actual gathering, it seems to go to fast. It’s over before you know it. I want to hang on the the moments by realizing how all the years and all the memories flood so many emotions. Watching babies grow to little children to teenagers and then adults accepting the responsibilities of life, relationships and reality.

I hope that each of you have enjoyed this long weekend of sharing and gathering together. Yes, the holidays are hear and I will be sharing lots of joy in December. I am thankful for you, your visits here and your kind comments. What sort of gatherings did you attend or are looking forward to?
