I started decorating for Christmas a few weeks ago. I set out candles, silver and pine cones; that's as far as I got with the decorating when I got the news that my brother had passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. He was 52. It kind of knocks the wind out of you. I feel like I'm moving through quicksand.
I was going to get out some more decorations today, and I just couldn't. So I decided to take photos of what I have and post it.
I know these photos won't win any prizes, but it's been weeks since I took any photos or posted to my blog, and I enjoyed the process again. I've missed it.
I love Christmas. I'll just be celebrating in a quiet, reflective way this year.

Katie I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I lost a sister 16 1/2 yrs ago, I understand how you are feeling. May the quiet reflective Christmas bring you peace and the Lord will surround you with His Love.
Glad to see you're back. Loss is difficult at any time but seems to be magnified around the holidays. Just breathe. God is watching over you...and your brother is too. Happy Christmas Katie...
