CULTIVATE
No matter what is being cultivated, the word implies a level of care that is reminiscent of gardening...
Hello, sweet friend…
Welcome, January!

With only a few days into 2020…I have surprised myself by somehow managing to pack Christmas 2019 away.

Storage boxes are filled and ready to take down to the basement. (btw…love having a basement!)

I am enjoying learning about more efficient ways to organize everything.
Cards have been looked at several times…and until next year I will hold them close to my heart.

The most lovely thing happened this week… a surprise gift from my high school friend arrived in the mail...my first gift of the year!

This beautiful surprise was so apropos…since I have been pondering thoughts about the New Year. Thoughts on how to cultivate a deeper richer meaning into my everyday life…

experiencing more fully the beauty around me in friendships… home…nature…environment… and turning ordinary to an extraordinary every day life.
