Tis the season

It's been an incredibly busy ten days. A time of rapid healing........a lot of laughing at myself.

And for anyone who is recouping from head trauma...........it really does get better even if you don't see any improvement for a few years. Then suddenly it takes off.......as if making up for lost time. I can hardly keep up and yet, at the same time, it isn't totally back (as I learned last night, I still can't back my car down the driveway, lol. Don't ask! :)

There is something incredible in the air. My friends are talking about it, we all feel it. Something is up.

Perhaps it's just getting back to the reason for the season.

Perhaps it's getting back to the simple pleasure of life. The small things that mean so much.

There's something incredible in the air..........

The stores are busy, the lines are long. And "where is this" and "where is that" is being asked in the stores.

There's something incredible in the air..........

The busy stores are filled with smiling faces......young, old and in between. There are no unhappy, unruly, little ones running around. They are having too much fun.

There's something incredible in the air...........

The lines are long, but no one seems to care. There's lots of chatting and encouragement by total strangers.

There's something incredible in the air............

"Where is this" and "where is that" located? The question no sooner asked than an employee stops and escorts the customer to "this" or that" happily.

There's something incredible in the air.......

I noticed the difference this year too as I was shopping. Everyone seemed to be in such a peaceful Christmas mood. I actually didn't run into any long lines at any store I shopped at. It was a beautiful Christmas - one of the best in years.
