The Day After

A movie by this same name was about what the world was like the day after a world wide catastrophe. Well, yesterday was Christmas and today is the day after. Did it happen? Are there family members who will not be speaking to each other, at least until next Christmas? Were there disappointments? Did Santa not bring you the Manolo Blaniks you wanted! Did Santa show up with a pink slip, a default notice or a do not pass go but go straight to jail note?

If you are breathing and have all your body parts today, you have a future no matter what happened yesterday.

Christmas was beautiful in more ways than one. We plowed snow till we were covered in it, talked with neighbors, worked on building a snowman, talked with each other and spent time not talking but communicating in other ways....cooked enough food for an army! (we still have issues with cooking for two) and were saved from giant load of left overs because a dear friend of ours came by and had dinner. A perfect day, but we face the day after with open hearts because we are going shoppin!!!!
