I am not going to pretend I understand the idea and fasicantion with February 14th.  People idoilze a day that someone deemed an important day to shower your “loved” ones with expensive gifts. Those gifts somehow symolize the love you have for each other? 

Everything is nearly set on the night before Christmas. We have one gift that needs to be wrapped and placed under the tree. Christmas looked different this year. To make this holiday feel as normal as possible, I took traditions from our extended families and brought them to our house. We had warm ham sliders on King Hawaiian rolls. A crowd favorite that my children love and missed this year. 

On your birthday, I am reminded of all the wonderful times we had together. Some of my favorite memories and life lessons of you are as follows. You were an entrepreneur before entrepreneurship became known. You were talented beyond belief. There was nothing you could not conquer. You also were never afraid to try new things. A few of the adventures you I can remember. 

This is the first year in many years that I was excited about the elf on the shelf. This is how my life goes. It never fails at the beginning of the month. I am excited, ready to go.

Reflecting on their journey, they realized the importance of trusting in divine timing and learning to let go of control.

“God let me down today.” Those were the words that flew out of Darcee’s mouth, my seven-year-old daughter, as she stormed away from me and headed towards her room crying. I just stood there with a shocked look on my face. Then, I turned to my other daughter, Delilah, to verify if I heard her correctly. I asked Delilah- “Did she just say, God, Let me down today?” At that moment, Delilah and I both started laughing because that was precisely what she said. (We were not laughing at her comment, we were laughing that we both needed verification that we heard her right.)
