going through my Facebook memories on December first is a great reminder of the various Advent Calendars I’ve had over the years…

they started a number of years ago, when I received 24 decorated magnets that went on 2 muffin tins… the items to go into them were provided and a colleague filled them;-)…

since then I have received fancy chocolate calendars, a repurposed frame with purple inserts that my daughter made, and individual boxes that have been refilled numerous times…

I’ve also received handmade cards with daily readings…

this year a Walker’s Shortbread calendar was delivered;-)…

I am blessed…

the time is flying by and on Tuesday we were already halfway through Advent…

I have been enjoying all my treats and am looking forward with anticipation to the next ones;-)…

I took this photo of the calendar hanging on the living room wall that had the first two rows turned around to remind me that they have been opened…

and the stairway is looking rather bare, with the bottom steps cleared of their gift boxes…

both, a reminder of how quickly time passes and to make the most of each moment you have;-)…

revelling in the wonderful treats I have already received, as each day provides an opportunity to reflect on how blessed I truly am…
