last one of the decade

and here we are, December 31, 2019, closing out a decade............

It  was always suggested that hindsight is 2020.... but tomorrow IS 2020.  

Will it be insightful?  Will we still draw on lessons of the past?

No matter what, there are always reasons to be thankful, grateful and blessed, ......every day, always.

I'm hopeful  for better days ahead.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 24th

To friends near and far,

wishing you a very Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!

December seems to arrive with a flurry (not the weather outside) and all the days are busy....or so it feels like.   Tomorrow is for new joy (in watching little ones open their gifts), happy moments spent with family and good food to share.  We will raise a glass to remember Christmas's past and those no longer sitting at our table but always in our hearts.

We continue to be:

thankful,

grateful,

and blessed.

Always.

it's beginning to look like

I might survive these technology changes.   

I've limped along with the old computer and setting up a new one.  Procrastination  at it's best.......99% of files were transferred, on the home stretch then stalled with the "Have I forgotten something?"   This morning the old beast did a series of 'bad behavior' things and in a 'mom' voice THAT'S IT!   Order will be restored, soon.   I won't even mention setting up a phone, that's for another day.

Last week we put up the outdoor lights.  So nice on the many dull days to look out and see the lights glowing (and this is before 3 pm on the grey days).  photos to come.

The tree is up but not yet decorated.  Lot's of time, right?

In the meantime Christmas tunes play on the radio while I knit another row or two.

Stay safe and warm.
