I had a really nice day but I'm glad we're done for another year, too. I even took all my decorations down this morning. I just needed to get everything back in order. I like things to be neat, orderly and in their place.

I remember as a child how much I hated for the tree to come down. And especially the lights my Mom put in all the windows. Blue candles that shown through the window shades we had. I loved to lie there in the dark and look at the blue illumination of the shade. It was comforting.
