small miracles

I've always wanted to be the kind of person who sent Christmas cards annually. Maybe even with a little newsletter chronicling the previous year of my life updating friends and family with the revolving door of jobs I've had and cities I've lived in. This year I am halfway there. I am creating cards using a sketch I did of Lucy about a year ago. She looks so peaceful here. Of course most of my sketches of her are sleeping ones since that is the only time she is still enough for me to draw. I also think this sketch reflects how the holidays would be in my ideal world - slower, lazier, with enough time to enjoy the small miracles we so often take for granted. I hope you are able to enjoy a Christmas like that. Me? I'm going to go enjoy this little miracle with a game of fetch and a short snooze on the couch.
