Simply..uncertainty....

..is what we are all having to deal with, isn't it? I am, like you, naking all these plans for events which might not happen!

Friends and family are affected by Covid (still arounnd), jury duty, rail strikes, cancelled flights, changed or even cancelled appointments, sudden hospitalisations, and sheer exhaustion coping with it all.

Here on the blog I am focussing on the certainties and the small beautiful things which are happening around me

I am pretty certain that this extravagant bunch of gypsophila will delight me every day for the rest of December and maybe beyond.

And that sunlight on cold water will continue to mesmerise,

and that the birch against the blue sky will look amazing for a while yet.

and that there will be blue skies!

What things can you be certain of?

Your blog is one of the small certainties and pleasures that I find helpful for keeping a sense of perspective while living with the many uncertainties of having blood cancer treatment. Thank you.

Your holding focus on to the near and beautiful, and the continuing processes of nature, brought to mind Mary Oliver's 'I go down to the shore'.

Coming here to your blog Freda gives me the reassurance that there are real people (outside my immediate circle) who are strong, compassionate and coping. This is hugely comforting in the face of what we are all up against. The reminder that there are good things too and there are other lives going on is sometimes all it takes to lift me..

I find it helpful to remind myself that the stories which reach the news are there because they are the exception!

Gypsophila, so frothy, and pretty, makes me think of celebrations I am celebrating winter.

Such lovely lovely pictures. I should comment before I read other comments as they have all said so eloquently what I also feel.
