Star
I’ve heard that candles in the window can represent thoughts, and/or a welcoming light for loved ones who are away. This year has been bleak and, with Christmas coming, there is a real temptation to skip the decorating. Like the candle idea, however, I thought that having a star up on our chimney again could bring some brightness and, maybe, act as a small welcoming light/reminder for my Mom. My Dad and I have decided to do some other decorating, too. And we are going to put up a tree. I pretty much wasted my Sunday off but, near the end of it, kept having that idea about the star.
So I climbed up onto the roof and hung it there. After I was done, I sat for a moment, watching the sunset. The only sound was the wind. Everything else was quiet and open.
