three on thursday

 

Thing 1:  it was a lovely, lovely day.  I am so very lucky I got to spend it with my parents.  As they get older, I sense their slowing down and need to prepare for when they will be gone.

Thing 2: the sentiment of the card I got Dad meant so much to me.  I was deflated that my sister got him the same card.

Thing 3: I am loving this Christmas vibe--the tree is twinkling, the music is playing softly, and it's lightly snowing.  (This is the only time that snow is tolerated)
