You have to understand that I'm asking this for more than the "where did the year go?" reasons that we all have. Here in Monterey the weather is sunny in the mid-60's, and the trees and grass are lush and green this time of year. It feels like Spring. (But not the "Spring" we had here last year - the kind of Spring I'm used to!) Having lived in places with four distinct seasons my entire life until one year ago, I feel really displaced seeing Christmas lights on neighbor's homes while deciding we really don't need our jackets as we head out the door. Displaced, yes. Ungrateful? Absolutely not!
Displaced and ungrateful was me this summer while I was wearing sweaters (and a jacket) and could barely see through the fog day after day.
But now that it's gone, I'm over it. It's December, it's not going to snow here, and I'm grateful. And it might be the only December I can ever confidently say that again. So I put on the silver jingle bell earrings my youngest son gave me last year and I'm going to be grateful all month long. (And I'm putting this on my blog to be accountable to it!)
Happy December and may this be a month filled with blessings and sunshine! And maybe a chocolate advent calendar. : )
