Christmas Day

Today I woke up for Christmas not as an excited child but as a single woman who fell asleep on my couch after the midnight candlelight service. I went in my room, turned on my music, and tried to fall back asleep. It did not work. I got out of bed and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. I sat on the couch with a perfect little breakfast of oatmeal with banana slices mixed in and my chocolate coffee. I read some Word and ate my breakfast.

I have laundry to do later this afternoon and then will go to church early evening. I wonder what Christmas will be like next year. I know that I will most likely not always be single for every Christmas. It is kind of a weird and exciting thought to think that I will have my own family to share it with someday.

For now I am content with my quiet apartment. In the future, I will be content pulling cinnamon rolls out of the oven while listening to my kids laugh.
