First I must explain my tree
When we got married over 9 years ago My mother bought me a Martha Stewart Christmas tree.
It was full and was pre lit. When we moved to Utah we left the tree in Idaho. I was heart broken over such a thing. My tree was the first tree for our children it was the first tree for our family.
So with sadness I asked my husband to buy me a new tree.
So the new tree looked like a Charlie Brown tree un loved and empty..
I thought how am I going to make this tree look as my tree in the past.
I grabbed my decorations and got to work
It started to look like my old tree..Beautiful and full of new memories to come
I thought how silly I was to think that a Charlie Brown Tree could not look andy better than what it had.
Then it hit me something so profound
We have to look at the beauty with in
We have to look past our flaws
we have to learn how to accept those who are different
We have to be grateful and live like everyday is a blessing.
I am grateful for my Charlie Brown Tree
I know I could always have a better tree
But would that bigger better tree make me more happy?
Does that tree say LOOK What she has???
It does not matter what you have it does not DEFINE
who you are ...
Happy Holidays
