The Landscape

This Christmas season I found myself carefully cherishing the landscape. With my dad and father-in-law gone and other family & friends’ deaths as well as the losses we’ve experienced at Wedgewood over the past few months, I spent time looking around the table. I found myself appreciating the memories made and the people who I was making them with a little more than usual.

I am keenly aware that the landscape will change. The table and setting will not always look this way. What will future Christmases look like? How might things change moving forward?

It’s important to be in the moment. It’s important to appreciate the people we have around us. It’s important to cherish the landscape before it changes. If we appreciate the landscape BEFORE it changes, it makes it easier to handle the changes in the landscape later
