My blogging journey began when my nest was almost empty, and quiet, now since it’s been full again, I have been suffering a bit of writer’s block. But I think I know the cause of this creative slowdown … the noise … JOYFUL NOISE! My beautiful mess has been getting messier, and I love almost every minute of it. Nothing is perfect in life, so you can’t love every minute. But, I am really good at rolling with the punches.
On New Year’s Eve, we rang in 2020 with smiles, laughter, Chinese food, and games. The next day, I attended a memorial for my nephew. Both were celebrations of life – a celebration embracing the good moments and bidding good riddance for the bad and a life cut short, but to be honored.
Prior to the start of every new year, seems to be the time when we reflect on our lives. We think about the past year and start to wonder what we want moving forward. In order to think about what our hopes will be for the upcoming year, we need to go back. Looking back on 2018 isn’t easy for me.
