Expectations Are Low

“We are vertical,” quoth the spouse.

“The Broncos will hopefully lose and we can stop this chatter about playoff potential,” quoth I.

Keeping the lights dim will ensure no one sees the dust of the day which is going to live with us longer than I had planned, thinkest myself.

And yet…hope springs eternal! The joy of the season is definitely slipping in and making its home in the peaceful moments of the day. Today’s advice – (by the way, the closet didn’t get cleaned) -stop and spend dedicated moments in gratitude. You can make the noise of the world halt and hold its breath, awaiting the Incarnation we celebrate in a few more days. It is possible.

Just breathe.

  1. I’m thinking there was dust in the stable too! Refocusing on His birth gives us the peace of Christmas.
