‘Beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost’.
In many ways, much of our lives these last few years have changed. We’ve moved country, started new jobs, gotten engaged, suffered the enormity of losing someone very dear to me, moved house, brought two wonderful animals into our lives, travelled overseas, gotten married, and most recently, celebrated the start of a new year. It’s fair to say that it’s been a journey – and not always an easy one.
Which I think is why I look at the new year, 2017, as an opportunity to look forward; life is what you make of it, and the fresh year holds so much promise.
Currently, I’m treasuring the small joys in life. Like a new habit I took up late last year to start reading every night, rather than just ‘plugging in’, or the dinner that Luke and I are planning to go out for tomorrow night, to kick off our weekend. And, I’m finding joy in the few things we have coming up, like a new addition to our fur family (can’t help but count down!), and the short trip back to Wellington that we’ve booked to celebrate the marriage of two of our friends.
Sometimes, you just need to take a breath, and get lost in the moment.
Lovely post! Just what I needed to cheer me up on a grey London morning. Happy New Year to you. I hope that 2017 is full of happiness for you and yours.
