Greetings and salutations! Today is a new day and a new year. In my mind, it represents a much needed clean slate and start of a new season in more ways than I can count.
I spent yesterday on a 6.5 mile hike. It was a bit gloomy but not cold and the landscape sparse with fawn colored leaves clinging to trees here and there. The lake was an unusual shade of dark teal and the sky a moody gray. There is beauty to be found in the simplicity of days like this even if you prefer sunshine and blue skies.
It was the ideal end to the year and exactly what I needed. Fresh air and exercise are good for the body, mind and soul. Then I came home to enjoy a quiet evening with Scout before an early bedtime with a book.
Who needs Times Square when you have these riches?
I plan to spend most of this day curled up with a book and with my cat before another early bedtime. I return to work tomorrow and need to be rested and mentally prepared.
L.M. Montgomery's most popular character Anne Shirley of Green Gables famously said that "Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it."
What a wonderful philosophy for this start of 2024!
Wherever you are in this world today, I wish you a new year of peace, good health and prosperity. Happy New Year!
