This has definitely been a different Christmas - a mission Christmas as it should be. No decorations in our little apartment, no shopping and wrapping gifts. We miss the family fun and excitement but there’s something to be said for simplifying. I have loved being in the temple- the most peaceful place on earth. And I’ve loved the quiet hours of reading and thinking that I’ve had these last 6 months. For those of you in the trenches of crazy busy family life - you have these pleasant years to look forward to. They WILL come. But meanwhile we all need to enjoy each day - with whatever moments of peace and joy we can discover in them. Time is a gift - enjoy it!
