Happy new year! I hope your holidays left you feeling loved and ready to face the year ahead.
I am ever mindful of my good fortune to have my two wonderful boys in my life, a loving family, good health, a warm safe place to lay my head at night, a little space to plant and grow things, and a wild wonderland of sea and trees nearby. To me, this is wealth beyond measure and I’m grateful for every little bit of it.
With the majority of our time spent either at home, at work, or at school, these weekend outings are not only treasured family times but a chance to explore this amazing natural world around us. Weekend last, we went to the coast and found a beach that was almost deserted. It was late afternoon and the sky had a few breaks in it from which a very pale sun shone ever so briefly. Our time there together felt like one last holiday gift. A beautiful and perfect end to the holidays / start of the new year. A goodbye and a hello all at once.
