The silver glow on the picture have textures of Christmas-balls, it's a lovely capture Tara.

With interest I read your words, with respect to the Christmas spirit.
I am very touched by that.

Karel and I are just alone together, but not lonely ;-)
I have accepted, we can not have contact with our family or our children or grandchildren.
I am in a sense, celebrating the peace that I received about how my life has expired.

I listen to the Christmas cantata of Johann Sebastian Bach, and I enjoy the organ music playing by Karel.
Music is a passion of us, it touches me very deeply emotionally.

In our hearts there is peace.
Peace which is so important to be connected with it, especially during Christmas to remember.

It's not that easy to express in English, sorry for my limitations therein.

Wishing you all a blessed Chrismas-time, whether you are 'believers' or not  ;-)
