a much needed trip out of town
a surprise filled with friends
seven dogs and eight children
a walk under the stars, a waxing moon, releasing the old and bringing in the new
firelight
a breakfast table filled with littles, good food, tired eyes, and a dog or two under the table
a solitary, morning walk through the bush
lush growth after ten years of dry
butterflies and barefeet
cricket in the paddock
ambling through the garden and orchard
a slow afternoon
a beautiful new beginning to another day, a new year
~
When I looked up at that bright crescent moon last night I was dreaming of all I'd love this year to be. I want the coming days to be filled with the simple and slow. I want to follow my heart and listen to my intuition. I want to appreciate more, mother, love and live with grace. I asked to be a better friend and give more love than I do. I want to open my heart and find the right words at the right time. I want to be mindful in each and every moment and be gently reminded when I'm not. These are my wishes for this new year.
What hopes and dreams do you have for today, tomorrow and the coming days?
Thanks and gratitude to all of you who have stopped by, left encouraging words, and followed along through our days.
