The holiday season has been approaching me in a much different manner than years past. I am being reminded of the joy and excitement from my youth. We would go and gather moss in the forest, which was our backyard (now known as Coast Guard Housing), for the manger scene. We would sing carols at night, light the Advent wreath, rehearse for the pageant and spread cheer wherever we went and pray for a white Christmas. I'm sure getting to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family had something to do with it; oh and getting the shout out that the Tom and Jerry batter is ready!!!
I just feel joy bubbling out of me this year, for no reason at all other than the fact that I can not contain it any longer. I'm not talking seasonally, I'm feeling it as a full time ooze! Filled with creamy gooey hugs and fluttery happy sunsets and magical walks in the forest.
I was with my best friend ( and I have many that all share that spot in my life) and her daughter and I was talking about how magical the sky looked and that I could just picture a unicorn riding through it sounding the end of another glorious day; or something like that (wink); well, the daughter told me I was silly that that isn't real... And it hit me..... My world has always been full of the wonder and fantasy of things beyond our own knowing. I love that about myself. I like going in the forest and feeling the spirits and picturing how my life would be if I was a little fairy living in the forest. And then it hit me, again...... I am a little fairy living in the forest surrounded by magic and awesome incredible larger than life people and beauty that never gets old!!!!
And that is what is running through my head right now as I get ready to hit post and the shower!!
Big love to you all!!! I will sparkle with you later! Maybe sing to each other on the street? Anything can happen in Astoria!!
