Watching the blue moon holding court in a cloud filled sky as misty waves washed over the bright shiny light, I was filled with a sense of awe. Nature is powerful in its displays of beauty, and 2010 was brought in with glory. During the night I was awoken by distant cheers and fireworks, dazed and confused it took me a moment to realize the new decade was here. But then I buried myself deeper in my warm blankets, and cuddled close to warm little dogs. Today is still and misty as if the world is resting after a night of bright light and noise. Walking along the water front this morning I reflected on the past decade, my thoughts were full. So much has happened, as one gets older loss is a familiar refrain and there has been a lot of loss. But there has been much happiness and joy memories of bright and good times, times of never letting go of. What the next years hold remain a mystery hidden in the mist but I hope to meet it all with grace and handle it the best that I can always trying to remain grateful what I've been blessed with.
Lovely, lovely blog! I wish you all that you wish yourself in 2010.
