Today is one of those golden days.
Kevin is feeling well. Feeling relieved to be through this portion of his treatment. The next phase is far enough away that we haven't mustered up the anxiety which I know will come later.
Today is the beginning of Advent. The beginning of the new church year.
Today is the anniversary of our marriage.
Today is the anniversary of my First Communion and the anniversary of Kevin's return to The Table after a 10 year absence.
I love it when anniversaries fall on the same day of the week as the original.
Six years ago this evening the Advent candle was lit before Mass. I made my Profession of Faith and received Communion for the first time. Our ten year old, been around the block a few times, civil marriage was convalidated in the Catholic Church and Kevin received Communion after a ten year absence.
St. Tom's is special during winter evenings. The shadows are deep around the edges, it's mysterious without being dark or frightening. Magical. Holy.
It's a good place for new beginnings.
