Hello, Sorry for the prolonged absence. Winter & especially the Holidays just aren't my favorite times. Even more so without my Wife Judy, whom I lost not all that long ago. It's just difficult to get into a cheerful mood when it's not how I'm actually feeling inside. I appreciate every one of you & all the Wonderful comments you've posted for me(yes, I've seen every one. - Please have patience with me as I navigate these dark, sometimes unbearable times.
Hope this finds you enjoying a fresh new year! Still exhausted from having a small NYE party. Too old for hosting duties. Not like even like 5 yrs ago when I still had stamina. Fun but too much work.
I love the white of winter because it feels like a fresh start, a blank canvas where everything is quiet and peaceful. The snow brings a serene beauty to the world, covering everything in soft, pure white. It creates a sense of calm and stillness, as if nature itself is taking a deep breath. There's something magical about watching the snowflakes gently fall, transforming the landscape into a winter wonderland. The white of winter invites reflection, slowing down the busy pace of life and giving us a chance to appreciate the simple, quiet moments that often go unnoticed.
