an EyE for perspective
That time of year
I managed to put up some Christmas lights this year and I am so proud of myself. When I was single I moved almost every 1.5 years. At that point in my life I never wanted to accumulate Christmas decor as I would take one look at something, pick it up and the first thought wasn't this is cute or it would look so nice on my mantel. No, the first thought was, do I really want to have to pack and pay for moving this item? Somehow the joy and excitement of a child changes all of that.
