Christmas'ness

Christmas'ness

I didn't hear from my favorite  COTA, my daughter Tawnia.    Perhaps she worked late after the holiday, 
or maybe her patients were naughty-not nice,  and she didn't want to complain.
"Yes,"  she explained.  "People were naughty today."
Were they cookied out? I wondered.

Christmas blessings and restings

Older Ornaments

Christmas Eve and a stop at the community thrift shop.   Ten minutes before closing.   A harried week.  The end of clinicals in a skilled facility.  Tawnia needed a change of focus - from care giving to festivity.  A string of lights.  Maybe a tree.  Yes, there it was, a little plastic evergreen.  Oh, and she spotted a basket of ornaments that were a little picked over.  None were new, or vintage and collectible,  but nevertheless, each was unique, and each only 25 cents.    She took pause and  took them all.  

As she hung each one on artificial boughs, they reminded her of the residents at the care center, and of their personalities ~ the angel, the bear,  and the  puppy on a sleigh.  

With a bit of Christmas light,  they came to life and with purpose.  They brightened her night.
