Darkness be gone.

Last year I was still muddling through a marriage that left me drained and unhappy. I knew, it was honestly over before it started.

I was going through the motions, and posted as much.

My Christmas angel did NOT work last year, I related it to signs that I just was not lit up inside. My fire, my spark had been extinguished. My lifelessness was represented in that tree last year.

Dark Angel.

So as the kids and I went along putting up the tree this year, I didn't even remember that Dark Angel last year. I hoisted her atop the tree, affixed her dress around the branches and plugged her in.

Let there be light.

She worked. It was later that I remembered that Christmas last year. It was later that I said the signs are all pointing in the right direction and my angel of darkness has light again.

    I'm so, so glad that the angel has light again :) I haven't read through your blog (I did go back to that post you linked to last year) so I don't know all of the details, but this is definitely a great sign!!

    Wow, I love this post. I'm so sorry you had a dark angel last year, and reading your old posts, I know it must have been a very dark and difficult time. But I am SO HAPPY your angel shines brightly again.
    It really is beautiful (literally and metaphorically).
