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 isnāt 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. Weāre not scurrying around wrapping, baking, delivering gifts, doing pre-Christmas cooking and baking prep. Weāre 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.

Here we stand on the cusp of a New Year. So much has happened in these past 365 days and also so little. To say goodbye to one year and to greet the next is at times a bittersweet process. But we stand ready and waiting for what this next year has in store.
May this coming year hold beauty for us all. Wishing you love and light as we kiss this past year goodbye and open our arms in greeting to the new one about to dawn.

I cherish the pace of these in-between days. I treasure this time between Christmas and New Years. The time to be, when days seem to stretch out in front of you. These are precious days indeed, that do not come often.
We have enjoyed each otherās company, gone for long strolls, read, cobbled together sandwiches from leftovers, watched a plethora of old movies, listened to Christmas music, basked in the glow of the Christmas lights and have just generally been happy to be.
The days are moving a bit too quickly for me now, Iām nowhere near ready for our Christmas break to come to end. But, Iām taking pleasure from being in the moment and drinking in all it has to offer.
These days, these in-between days, hold so much and so little. These days, these heady days, hold so much magic in their offering.

We are ready to ring in the New Year, hoping that it brings better tidings than this last one did. However, there is a silver lining to all things. This past year, Mr. Michie and I have been blessed to spend a lot of quality time with one another and for that I am forever grateful. In all the ups and downs that occurred in 2020, we have, as we always do, faced them together. I am blessed that I have a partner by my side who is truly a āpartnerā in every sense of the word.Ā We leave this year behind with a renewed sense of gratitude for each other. We will shepherd in that appreciation to the New Year.
I come from a family that makes the best of every situation and tries to find the humour in things. And I know that so many people have joked this year that they are āsurviving, one glass of wine at a timeā and I do see the funny side to that. But, I donāt want to be just āsurvivingā, I want to be thriving!Ā And that is what we did in 2020 and that is what we will continue to do in 2021.
Wishing love and light to you all as we close the book on this past year and open a new one tomorrow.
