The presents are opened, the recycling bin is full of wrapping paper, the Christmas dinner, which took hours to prepare, was eaten in minutes. The wine bottles empty, the children all playing with their new games and the cats doing what they always do…. sleeping through it all. The year is winding down and what a year it has been. For my family, it has been one of major change. Whether or not it will be a good one is yet to be seen, but we are all adjusting to our new roles, the new game, the new rules. We are all going to bed unsure of the now, but hoping to wake up to a better future.They say when God closes a door, he opens a window. For many of us, it’s so hard to see that indeed that window is open. All we see is that the door has been shut in our faces and we are left there, stunned, not knowing what to do next.
The point, I think, is to just keep moving. Keep searching. Keep looking for what you want in life. And that… putting one foot in front of the next… is the secret to getting through life. One step at a time. One moment at a time. One breath at a time.
In keeping with this blog’s theme….. Harmony and Home…. and in loving (and living in) peaceful serene homes, here is one that I’d like to share with you.
