Simply..friendship....

I'm supposing (my word for 2017) that it's ok with you if I take an extended blog break....

I love this image. It is from another Christmas card. It seems to me to capture something very moving about friendship, especially womens' friendships, and about the way I feel about the friends I have made here.

Picture
I'm so grateful for your friendship, kindness and support.

I will continue with the occasional post for a bit, just to stay in touch....I do intend to be back - just not sure when :-)

More than OK, blog breaks can be freeing at the right time.
Know that you have a support net here ready for you to use, when and how you feel appropriate. x

Dear Freda -- I wish you all the very best. I came to your blog fairly recently and find it so... graceful and nourishing and enriching. (I've commented just once before.) I'm going to start from the very beginning, and simply read and savor each post, one by one. Take good care, and look after yourself. Love, Teresa.

Here's a nice poem for your break:
New Year Resolve
by May Sarton

The time has come
To stop allowing the clutter
To clutter my mind
Like dirty snow,
Shove it off and find
Clear time, clear water.

Time for a change,
Let silence in like a cat
Who has sat at my door
Neither wild nor strange
Hoping for food from my store
And shivering on the mat.

Let silence in.
She will rarely speak or mew,
She will sleep on my bed
And all I have ever been
Either false or true
Will live again in my head.

For it is now or not
As old age silts the stream,
To shove away the clutter,
To untie every knot,
To take the time to dream,
To come back to still water.
