2022… What were you?
A year of many things…
And right here, right now, these are my memories…
My God-daughter’s wonderful wedding in Africa – one of the very best days of my life.
Safari and sunset on the Zambezi.
Miraculously finding more family, expanding my world exponentially.
Being in Cumbria.
Playing ‘peep oh’ with a 2 year old and laughing beyond measure.
Walking with my man, holding my hand.
Rising above anxiety.
Hugs.
Breaking decades old cycles.
Recording my audiobook.
Feeling low and hiding from the world.
Yet my tears were few.
And still I laughed too…
Going to Glasgow.
Loving.
Being loved unconditionally.
Being kind to myself.
Quality time with old friends.
Making new friends.
Andra’s wedding in Romania – just an amazing experience.
Feeling wounds and wonderment. Wandering in Welsh valleys.
Purring cats.
Being recharged.
The shock of grieving unexpectedly.
Baking Christmas cookies and eating fondue with my oldest friends.
A contented Christmas Day spent with my much loved big brother.
And so many highs and lows… the simple and strange tides of life ebbing and flowing.
A cycle of contrasts, of good and bad; anger and joy, and ultimately of choice.
It’s been a year of many things and I’m choosing that all of them have ultimately been my blessings.
A New Year is nearly here. I welcome it and am open to living each moment of it, richly.
And I wish you your hearts’ desires for the 12 months ahead and that you will choose to truly cherish who you are.
Thank you for sharing this year in the life with me.
Have a blessed 2023 xx
