A new year and a new beginning

The last year has been a year of changing tides both blessed with new babies being born, time spent with family and friends, and sadden by the loss of loved ones. Often the shift from one emotional state to the other and every feeling in-between would happen in space of a heartbeat. At other times the intensity of grief would slow time to a standstill and the minutes, hours and days would slide by without change. Then, without warning a small thing, the happy smile of a child, a polite ‘excuse me’ in a crowded store, or a caring call from someone not heard from for a long time would shift the world around me like the first hint of spring at the end of a long, cold, dark winter and life swells with warmth of love and friends and family and the simply joy of living.


May the New Year bring light to the shadows and new beginnings!
