The senses are heightened as the days turn into annual big dates on the calendar. What happened to all the years though, the wonder years, the tragic, the tricky moments we survived and made us the people we are today. Did the magic of youth fade into life's wear and tear or does it just take a minute longer to feel the simple joy of the season? When the smell of cooking prompts vivid flashbacks of childhood and the sound of bells jingling gets you all nostalgic about that certain time when Christmas music sounds like the sweetest songs ever heard or felt.
The holidays are no doubt about as bittersweet a time as can be. Who isn't here anymore? Who joined us? Who needs us, mad at us, miss us, wish us peace and happiness? One day into the next as life goes on, the occasional reprieve to remind us of certain things whether the commemoration is of a sad matter or bright, precious, so rare, once in a lifetime, a day or days, special days that summons acknowledgement, the days that everyone is aware of but not everyone is too keen on celebrating.
Here's to Happy Holiday's ahead, truly happy, harmonious, simple, quiet, calm or crazy as a perfect storm!
