December

This month is

                     joy
                                 laughing with each other
 tears of connection
                      clarity
                                                 silly voices
                                    tickle time
   contentment in all things
                           routine
       fun winter driving
                                                     rest
                delicious meals made with little helpers
                                           enjoyment
    surprises that make eyes widen
                                   creativity that inspires
       a pure feeling of thankfulness
                       festivity
loving each other anyway                                
   spiced cider in a warm mug
              questions without answers
                                           faith in the God who knows them
 paradigm in metamorphosis
pre-heated beds and down filled comforters
                   recording the stories
                               busyness and peace
  saving receipts
        kind neighbors with snowblowers
                   shoveling for hours
flirting for giggles
                                      "ready or not, here I come!"
          waiting till tomorrow for advent candy
   appreciation for darkness that keeps the little ones asleep till 7
                          anticipation
making do in the meantime
                                             missing friends
      taking naps in the fort
                    the beginnings of trust
