Advent is officially here too!  This is a time of great joy, expectation and celebration.  I love the anticipation of Advent and the lighting of the Advent candles.  On Sunday, a candle will be lit with another added each week, until all four will glow brightly representing love, joy, hope and peace, and celebrating the birth of Christ.  Beautiful!!  I love it!

Here at home, we adopted the tradition a few years back by lighting the Menorah candles on Hanukkah.  I love this too. 

This wonderful season also brings out lights and displays all around our city.  I do enjoy seeing them starting to pop up all around our complex.  I also love going to the mall with all their Christmas decorations up, hearing the music and being surrounded by happy people.

However, this can also be a very difficult and emotional time.  There are so many memories that come up that do make me smile along with ones that hurt my heart tremendously.  It truly can be a bittersweet time for many.  My prayers go out to all.

By the way, what do you think about these shorter days?  

Oh my goodness!

My circadian rhythm and sleep cycle are having a difficult time lately or maybe it is something else.  Whatever it is, it feels like the days have just begun and poof!  It is dark and the day is gone!!
