“I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.”

~Taylor Caldwell~ ***

It is still the dark of morning.

Larry has gone to meetings far away.

Libby gave up (on me coming back to bed)

and jumped down from the big bed,

to cuddle on her puppy couch.

Snuggled in pink fleece

I can only see her sweet little pug face.

The Christmas tree lights are on.

Sun will rise soon.

What a beautiful day.

Love you, Me
