Two Days to Christmas...Stop, Look, Listen, Breathe!
2 days to Christmas, and what's a girl to do...?
- Stop - And be with the people you are with...isn't that the most important thing?
- Look - Admire all the amazing things you've done to make beautiful memories for your family and friends. Don't look at the to-do list you haven't gotten to yet. It's ok if your house is a wreck and everyone is in dirty clothes, but hey, you are all together! (Anyone? No? Just me?)
- Listen - In our house, it is LOUD! But amid the noise and chatter, there is always the opportunity to find the calm, or at least appreciate the strong and able voices that are making the noise in the first place. Find your still in the storm and hold on to it because this season of life and this time of the year only come once, and will be gone before you know it!
- Breathe - Just breathe...and soak in some joy! We have a lot to be thankful for today and every day. For me, the smell of lavender reminds me of that. What smell can you soak in to bring you and yours that joy of this season?
We at the Farmstead hope you are blessed with calm and peace, and are able to stop, look, and listen for the many holiday moments you are creating. If you do, we know that they will take your breath away, too! Blessings from our farm family to your family...
