Cold morning. Brewed some coffee. Figured I finish off the last of the Peppermint Mocha creamer as I wait for the java jolt to take control of my energy level. Zombied my way to the Christmas Tree with the empty boxes to put everything away. Had Pandora on in the background (Lady Gaga Radio Station) hoping it would assist my attitude. The music works at Food City, why not for taking down the Christmas Tree decorations.
I dumped the first box on the sofa of tissue paper to start wrapping balls. Saw something stuck in between the cushions. It was a Christmas card from my dad. Maybe the nostalgia of putting Christmas away made me feeling kind of emotional but this card got to me. Enough to want the words to resonate on my blog for years to come as a memory.
So here it is:
"There are many gifts that I wish for you at Christmas. I'd like to give you the gift of happiness, but the path that leads you there is one you have to find on your own.
I'd like to give you the gift of wisdom, but that's something only years of experience can bring.
I'd like to give you the gift of success, but that's something that only has true value if it's earned.
But there's one gift I can give you this Christmas that will always be with you - and that's the love of a proud parent's heart.
Merry Christmas"
Thanks Dad, I love you..
