As with every New Year we stand on the edge, balanced, reflecting on what has been and what could have been. While, also dreaming about what is to come.
Let the countdown begin…

I love these in-between days. The space between the holidays. It isnβt wasted time to me as so many people feel, I think they are vital days. It is the time to relish in what has been, to reflect, to be and to prepare for the New Year to come in as much as you can prepare for the unknown.
There are no expectations on these days. Weβre not scurrying around wrapping, baking, delivering gifts, doing pre-Christmas cooking and baking prep. Weβre just being.
Watching movies, listening to Christmas music, basking in the glow of the twinkle lights. Going on long walks, reading, writing, working on puzzles, playing board games, visiting with loved ones and being still. These days have a rhythm all of their own. They are sacred days. We walk on almost hollowed ground. Where we watch time slip away from one year as we get ready to move into the next.

Even with the rain and the nip of the wind, there is a hum of magic in the air today.
