A Short Hiatus

image from ohdarling

This is the in-between time: Christmas behind, a new year ahead. I saw my neighbor's tree at the curb today, lying naked in the street. Ours is still decked out and lit up, shining softly in the living room, whispering to me to sit and breathe. I'm still listening to Christmas songs, still eating leftovers, still relishing some time away from work. I'm taking a short hiatus from blogging for the next two weeks to immerse myself in my studies. I may pop in here unexpectedly, but the safer bet is that I'll be back about a dozen days into the new year. Until then, may you dare to leave up the twinkle lights as long as your heart desires.

I LOVE your last sentence!!!

What a great metaphor for life!

Traveling mercies to you, dear Jenna. I will be thinking of you during your time away. I KNOW great things await you there!

Send me a postcard if you dare :-p

I agree! The last sentence is just wonderful. The tree is still up in our house and I intend to enjoy the twinkling lights well after they go back to the attic. Happy 2010!

I love the last line. "The Fiance" was recently saying how he liked it when people had twinkle lights in their homes year round.
