If not for every year so far and every person in my life this blog would not be written. Every experience I have lived has lead to this moment. I live in the current so often that I need to reflect back before planning for tomorrow.
I am very grateful for all of my loved ones and those who I have only passed by in life.
Today I ventured out in the 30° cold, the snow was not too dense so it crackled under my sneakers. This pathway by my house was lonely and beautiful.
I usually take more than 15 minutes to secure all of my clothing. A ski cap with blue stripes, my husband's winter coat in red plaid, and many layers underneath.
I fixed my pockets with all my belongings, many new. Wires, necessities, car keys.
When I am finally settled I do not notice my things anymore.
Even the back of was of the plaza buildings are pretty, weeds climbing along the dead cement. A curious dog barked at me before he knew it was me. Once we face each other it was respectful.
Anyway I need to be grateful for the moments that made up that hour of the of my life today. And again all the people and things that led up to a peaceful walk to start the year.
Thank you ~Darleen
