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.
Since it’s the new year it’s time to clean house, I’m not talking about you who I hear from a lot or even occasionally, but those friends who never post, or hear from, quality over quantity is my motto. Thanks to all who keep in touch.
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.
