I was off Sunday night, and we had a "Blessed" afternoon of giving, sharing, and of course, the "Trail of Lights"! Our department every year sponsors a family at Christmas. These are families that are known within the Seton system or are patients within the Seton network. The family we sponsored this year was a family in great need. Nine people living in a small two bedroom apartment, with literally no furniture except a table and chairs. The mother was wheelchair bound with no feet. Two other RNs plus our family helped to take all of the gift up to their small second floor apartment. It was a good experience for the girls! We are SO BLESSED! We stopped and had some hot cocoa, then headed via bus to the Trail of lights. The Trail of Lights is in down town Austin, in Zilker park, we could actually see the Austin city sky line from the park. It was SO COLD!!! The wind chill was in the 20's!!!! But, we had a GREAT time! We go every year in spite of the weather. The displays are phenomenal!!! Our little neighbor, Tiffany came with us, and it was a wonderful evening. The Yule log was actually the entire trunk of two trees, the picture does not show the enormity of the wood! Merry Christmas!!!
