You might wonder "What in the world does that title mean?" - well, here goes!! About two months ago we decided we had "no bedroom" space for kids to come home, nor for the hopeful grandchildren we may one day have. Soooo, we took our attic down to nothing and have completed a "Christmas Bedroom" for our kids, guests, friends, sleepovers, etc. - it's a very special room and I LOVE it!!!
At one end of the room there is an old rocker - a very comfortable rocker but one that I can't really use for company as the back pops out when you lean on it too heavily. But for just me, it works just fine! This Christmas Bedroom is just too nice an area to not use it regularly - it's peaceful, quiet, unique, beautiful:)! This rocker sits at the end and you can look out the window into our farmground and just sit:) You don't have to do anything - it's wonderful!! But, sometimes I want to sit with my mom - just to be able to let her know how I'm feeling, what life is all about for me, to tell her how much I love her still, and to catch her up with the kids' news, etc. So, on the ceiling I've hung something that was in her home in the dining area - it's a glass windchime. I don't know why anyone would have ever used this outside where the wind could actually catch it, it would break for sure! But near my window the sun catches the light and it shimmers and shines! So that's where I've been sitting when time allows! Every once in awhile when the tears come heavily I just look at the windchime and it shimmers because of my tears even if the sun isn't shining through. Then, when I just can't stand it anymore at all, I gently blow on the chimes and they jingle - that's mom talking to me and I just listen!! I love my Christmas Bedroom, AND I love the wind chimes!!! I love you mom!! Thanks for listening to me even now! Blessings to you and to all!
