We took down our Christmas decorations. The house seems much bigger now. It also seems a little more empty. The colors and lights that brightened our home during Christmas are now replaced with slightly parted blinds and a sea of properly selected neutral colors. The coffee even seems to have a slightly less festive taste.
We prepare our minds to go back to work after the holidays. The presents are all put away, the newness somewhat worn off. We will have the pictures saved on our cameras and computers, but will only see them as they rotate through on our screen savers.
What we do have now is the blessings of our friends and family, the security of employment, the ability to sustain ourselves, and the memories of the less busy times that we have just shared.
May you all have a full and rewarding new year.

I know what you mean. I don't drink coffee, but my Diet Coke tastes a little flat.
