Beauty, grateful heart, and Hanukkah

So grateful for this little beauty of mine who keeps creating beautiful things and making life so wonderful.

I love the little message that came with this lovely hand-painted globe by no other than our resident artist, Ella! (Greateful for the teacher that put time, effort, and creativity into this. I can imagine how not-easy must have been to get twenty-one children to safely and carefully hand paint glass globes!)



Christmas is fast approaching. I feel excitement, anticipation, wonder, and somewhat relief that we have made it fine, in fact wonderfully well through another year, and that we're all happy and healthy, and blessed beyond measure. I'm grateful that I can feel this way; that I can feel the gratitude in my heart.

And before Christmas gets here, we wish dear friends Happy Hanukkah!!! Ella drew/cut/colored a couple of beautiful manorahs and played with her dreidel:



Lots of love, warmth, and good thoughts to all!
