I’m always wondering what day to take down the Christmas tree in mid-January. Until then, I leave it up because it brightens the winter gloom and I’m not quite ready for the holidays to be over. Then I become indecisive, wanting more sparkly lights on dark days and also wanting to put the tree away for another year and feel that spring is getting closer.

For now, I’m going to let the decision wait a few more days and just look at the stars, instead.

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
