I love all the Christmas decor, but I also love the time of year where we put away all the decorations and sit in minimal candle light to contemplate…. and just be. New Year, New Beginnings, New Hope

I agree, Karen. I think we need both. Celebration and quiet. Happy New Year!

Lovely, Denise. As I write this, the sun can’t penetrate the thick clouds and the trees are bending in the wind. Like a broom sweeping out the old, making room for something new? I hope so!

Happy new year, dear Denise!

Thanks, Bridget. I love your image of this wind sweeping out the detritus of this past year. A clean sweep. I hope so too.
