2026 ...

A quote I've heard recently that has resonated

with me:

"Entering 2026 with Open Hands.

Open Hands for Miracles

Open Hands for Endings.

Not gripping the past,

not forcing the future!

Because life flows better when you let it."

It's made me stop to think - why do I rush through my days?

I long to smell the good coffee and open my eyes

to the beauty there is to behold.

Why do I try to force the future?

2026 - Be Gentle:

Stopping to taste the goodness in my life ...

To not forget nor to hold on to the past ...

Acceptance that my life will never be as it once was ...

To be open to new possibilities and adventures ...

Spend more time with family ...

To accept the things beyond my control with grace ...

Focus on the good  ...

Travel when the opportunity comes my way ...

Make way for new friendships and relationships ...

Nurturing the old and precious friendships ...

See the "big picture" with an open heart ...

Pray for peace in the world ...

Strive to see the light ...

Opening my hands for what is ahead ...

So much to live for and be thankful for!!

When he brings delicious

NYE Salmon Lox on fresh bagels with a glass of Kir!

A "stop rushing around" day

spent with my precious grandchildren.

Ice-sickle Castles and playing in the snow

is what the day ordered!

Stopping along the way to admire the BEAUTY in all that whiteness ... 

Stopping to admire my "gand-pup" Frankie!

What a beauty she is.

Celebrating yet another trip around the sun!

Thankful for good health, a wonderful family, and dear friends who

make the years rich and happy. 

Till next time - Keeping my hands and heart open. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be blessed and stay well ...
