Longtime readers may remember that each year I order a Wallace silver-plated sleigh bell for the holiday season. When I mentioned it to Tom, he said, “Do you really WANT to remember 2020?”
Sure I do. It has shone a light on many things. Yes, that includes plenty I’d rather not exist, but knowledge is power. This year has been a teacher of ways to appreciate many good things, too, if I can see challenges as opportunities.
Happy 50th Anniversary, sleigh bells. I’ve added you to our homes since 1992. You have been there for many family celebrations and sorrows. You’ve brightened Christmases with friends who are still here to celebrate with us again one day, and friends who are gone but never forgotten.
Thank you for being shiny and for ringing in each new year with us.
