Lucia

Today it is Lucia and I watched the Lucia parade on national television this morning. It was amazing as usual. Listening to the charols and watching the parade brings back so many good memories from my time in the church choir.
We participated in a lot of Lucia parades every year – in hospitals, military bases, prisons, elderly homes and in church of course. It is such an emotional moment to listen to the choir sing the traditional songs. So many feelings – both happy and emotional – that bubbles up to surface.

Wrapped all the X-mas presents I have bought so far. Put stamps on all the X-mas cards I will send. And baked some “lussebullar” of different kinds. Therapy work to keep focused.

Light a candle and say a prayer – an extra one is needed today.
