Holidays are an interesting time to reflect and think about the year and what transcends between time and space…
To think about what does home, friends and family truly mean …
It was beautiful to be home and walk in to see the 3rd street lights and bell holiday decorations. Inspired :)
Just for the summer - This book feels metaphorical in my life right now.
Highlights from the book
You are not what happened to you. You are what you do next.
Framing is everything. If you can frame the terrible things in the best possible way, that's where true happiness comes from.
Home is something that's always there I realized.. no matter where you are in the world you know it's where you left it unchanged and waiting.
If you can choose anger or empathy — always choose empathy.
It’s true — Once you see something, you can’t unsee it - these butterflies as gingko leaves in nature are everywhere on my walks now… pure magic … it’s all in the eyes of the beholder as they say.
No point in thinking why or why not... only path is forward and through…
Let’s enjoy the holiday wonderfulness in lights and decorations.
I am glad I captured feeling grateful in pockets over the few years - a good reminder that this too shall pass… and there is a lot to be grateful for in 2024…
