I'm having a rather unsettled start to the new year, still reminiscing about the old one. The highlights like the dinner party in Paris on my birthday (how romantic is that?!) and the low points. The death of a dear friend, a man who had goodness through him from head to toe like the letters in a stick of rock. A friend with a little dog in the village with whom I went walks has moved away to the city. She winkled me out of the house in all weathers and I do miss her.
With the clearing of the Christmas decoarations I think I must let 2023 go. Perhaps the comfort of looking back is that you know how things workded out, whereas 2024 is the unknown, with uncertainty the only certainty! Letting go of both past and future and being in the present might be wise, and focussing on what is under my nose. I had planned to create a nature table for the solstice but the weather was so wet I hardly went out, so a nature table for January - a winter nature table might get me out of doors and out of my head.
How is your year going and have you chosen a word? Do share.
