Zooming into New Year
I swear the weeks around Christmas go by twice as fast as at any other time of the year. In a blur of shopping, lights, giftwrap, eggnog, baubles, Jingle Bells (again!), and a belly full of chocolate..... zoooooooom - it's time for New Year and in this case, a new decade. Yikes, how did the past 10 years go by so fast? I can't deny I always find something a little daunting about a whole new year opening up ahead of me. A new chapter of 365 blank pages (well 366 for 2020), their stories yet to be written. It's a time for reflection and renewal yet I always feel a little anxious too, perhaps moreso this year given how much the world seems to be going insane. I hope we will find our way back to being kinder, warmer, more caring and appreciative - watching out and supporting one another and the world around us instead of all this twisted bitterness. I, for one, will still be doing my part and I truly hope this year will be a global awakening to the power of compassion and kindness to all and taking action to protect this unique and beautiful planet.
So here's wishing all of my Flickr friends a very Happy New Year - of love, happiness, health and compassion. Thank you from the heart for your friendship and support and all the ways in which you each inspire me on so many levels - it really does mean a great deal.
Happy New Year!
