a new year

Looks like my poor little blog bypassed my favorite time of the year. Fall came and went. Christmas too. Life just moves along doesn't it?

Here it's February already and I'm thinking springtime thoughts, planting and watching things grow again. And I can't wait!!

But as I reflect I have such a strange mixture of joy and sadness. Joy from all all the things in my life that are just so GOOD. Sadness from things I can't seem to change or rise above. Ways I feel "stuck".

My motto for 2020 though is "If you can't climb a mountain, climb a hill."  Simple. Just do what you can, but do something to help yourself, to help others, to make things better. We can't solve all of life's problems, but we can move in the right direction.

Here are a few photos from the end of 2019... and grateful for a new year to experience more of the good stuff.
