Wow...when you sit down and put a post like this together, you realize, no matter what has happened in life during the year, the good and the bad, there are moments, big and small that make it all worthwhile....
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away"
Love that our posts pretty much have the same title ;)
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas tree is gorgeous. Where did you buy your (beaded?) garland? I have had my eyes open for a few years but haven't found one I love.
Looks like a pretty wonderful year, and I love what you said at the end of the post.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
