O Christmas Tree

Tonight we picked out our Christmas tree.  We went to Lowe's picked up a tree still wrapped in the string and still felt fresh.  Had the end trimmed and we were heading out the door in just a few minutes.  We put the tree up in the living room and sat cuddled on the couch.  We reminisced about past trees and Christmases.  One of the nicest things about going through the counseling process is now being able to remember the good fun memories that used to be clouded and hidden by rotten memories.  Not only do I free my present self, I also unshackle access to lovely memories.
