is for bliss.
I wonder if everyone's brain works like mine does. What I mean by this is that I think a lot; not necessarily about something genius or terribly important, but I feel like my mind is in overdrive at times. Have you ever been driving down the road thinking of responsibilities at work, the chores that need done at home, your social engagements coming up, and all of a sudden you realize that you don't remember most of your drive home? Scary. I know, right? Yesterday I made the goofy mistake of thinking about the conference I was going to today at IUPUI and turned right toward downtown instead of left out of our subdivision. Long story short, I had to go a longer route to get back on track and fight some traffic madness. Pay attention already!
Sometimes in the craziness that comprises my thoughts, I realize how happy certain things make me. It could be doing something simple like filling out and addressing Christmas cards, finishing up a hard day's work then locking up my classroom, or purchasing another Christmas gift that is just right. It's in those moments of fulfillment that I truly appreciate the pure bliss that simpleness brings to our lives. I like flashy, glitter, and busy...........but I think 99% of the time the little things are what bring us the greatest joy in life. The holidays are upon us so I pose this question to you. Are you going to let this Thanksgiving and Christmas season become overbearing and stressful? Not this girl! I want those quiet moments, those normal occurrences when my brain slows down and thinks just how happy life can be in those everyday moments and simple beauties. Bring on the quietly falling snowflakes, some tiny twinkling Christmas lights, and a cup of hot chocolate. I'm so ready for some Christmas bliss.
