Twinkling trees and cozy.
With soft Christmas music playing on repeat…then that one song comes on and always takes me back to the time I heard it played live and my heart soared and tears welled in my eyes.
It was a dark night full of twinkle lights & santa hats in an old bar in a not so great part of town.
It was almost Christmas and it was all of a sudden so quiet before that first note started to play…
A guitar strummed the first note.
And then a familiar chord started up.
Played by the best band in the world.
It is Christmas Eve.
And today, I am sharing a favorite post from the past that sums up some of what I feel every year. The memories, the smiles, the tears. all those moments wrapped up from several years ago.
It was during a time when I was struggling a little bit honestly.
Because of the life season we were in. It was a time when everything felt a little bittersweet.
And that night, it was like time was zooming by and at the same time- standing still.
