I don't see tinsel as widely used as it was during my childhood years. Being the youngest sibling, and therefore, the shortest of the three of us, I could only reach so high on the tree during the decorating process. When I grew tired, the remaining tinsel got tossed as high as I could manage...hence the clump of tinsel! To my very young eyes, it was still beautiful. Thank you for visiting!<br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-50087355764445764552012-12-27T22:53:04.641-05:002012-12-27T22:53:04.641-05:00I remember those clumps of tinsel!

I was talking to my Mom about it the other day, and to her, it was just an ordinary day. Of course, she was in the midst of raising kids and keeping the world turning for a whole family. Her focus was elsewhere, but it continues to strike me as imminently beautiful that she took time out to sit with me that day. She doesn't see herself in the same bright light that I do, or realize what a solid foundation she gave all three of us. <br /><br />I owe everything to her. Everything. My outlook on life, my strong sense of self, my ability to communicate love. I'm so glad you enjoyed this trip into my childhood and the window into who my wonderful Mom is.<br /><br />I promise to keep gazing at magic, my friend. It is all around us. :)<br /><br />Namaste',<br /><br />DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-10241721850975762332012-12-23T10:14:21.198-05:002012-12-23T10:14:21.198-05:00that's a beautiful article Dawnie.. it was lik...that's a beautiful article Dawnie.. it was like watching liitle Dawn immersed in her magic world.. i loved the innocence and emotions associated with this memory..

My, what a memory to treasure always! I can recall a similar situation when I was six - I, too, sat at the foot of our tree, enchanted by the lights, listening to Christmas carols, and feeling the magic and mystery of the season. Seems like yesterday . . .<br />May your Christmas this year be filled with warm and blessed memories for you, dear Dawn!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-68053495552698678772012-12-20T13:20:57.324-05:002012-12-20T13:20:57.324-05:00Brenda, my Mom is always my biggest blessing!

I cannot say enough good about her. <br /><br />Looking back to when this article was originally written, I agree with you - something prompted the memory to be expressed in summer months that year. Magic exists year round, of course. We just have to focus our hearts and inner vision to recognize it. <br /><br />Thank you for the lovely visit & comment! :)<br /><br />Namaste',<br /><br />DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871303039116532788.post-59528641914145802842012-12-20T11:16:02.518-05:002012-12-20T11:16:02.518-05:00I don't lay under the tree, but I do sit in a ...I don't lay under the tree, but I do sit in a comfy chair and remember those cherished moments. I am always surprised at what comes barreling through my mind. It doesn't matter if this was written in July. Sometimes we need the feeling of Christmas then - or those feelings we associate with this time of year.

Yes, thanks to my wonderful Mom, my ability to see magic was never squelched - it was nurtured, and for that, I'm eternally greatful. The world is a mystical place, if we take time to notice! <br /><br />Linda, thank you for taking time to visit my blog page from over at Writers Rising! I have met some of the nicest, most talented writers in that group. I'll have to give your blog a visit in return. I also love that reading this post "gave you a memory back of your own".
