Merry Christmas!

 I’ve decided that this month is simply about gratitude. To say I’m humbled is an understatement. Having such a strong village around me has led to unbelievable kindness and goodness.

While rolling through the grocery store, I ran into a mom from church.

“Hey, Hannah! I’m from church, and these are my two little girls.”

“Hi! I recognize you. Girls, do you think Santa is coming?”

“Yes!” they responded excitedly in unison.

“I have a good feeling you’re right,” I replied.

We said our goodbyes and parted ways. My caregiver and I hopped in the car and drove home.

“There’s trouble!” my mail carrier said by way of greeting.

“Hey, how are you?” I asked.

“Not bad, not bad. Here’s your mail.”

“Your timing is impeccable.”

“It’s my job.”

“You go above and beyond.”

“Merry Christmas, Hannah!”

In response, I pressed the preprogrammed button on my communication device that said, “Merry Christmas.”

As I pushed the elevator button to go up to my condo, I thanked God for my life and continued on with my merry day.

Thank you all for making my life as joyful as it is. God is my North Star, and you make up all the stars in my sky.

Love,

Hannah!
