hello my lovelies!
I have been hermitting it up for the past two weeks. Working the odd day here and there, so that someone was in the office most of the time, and apart from that, staying home with my Mup and our respective families. We realised today, on day 2 of doing sweet FA that we haven't had any other completely NOTHING days this year, and they have been marvellously restorative. I have knit about a million stitches on a shawl for me, I have chatted to my mum, and Mup and I have laughed like drains.
We haven't had the telly on, we haven't even had the radio on much, and I feel like the world has been gentled somewhat. I know of course, that this isn't true, as the 6 o'clock news told me, but maybe my approach has been gentled, my inner rage is calmer than it has been in a long time. I feel calmer, I'm not worrying about things. So I wish for all of you, in the New Year, some time where you are wrapped in the love of your families, whether blood-relations or not, when the most complicated things you think about are making ( food, planting growing things, happy times, beauty, love) and where you feel at peace.
This year, for the first time since 1998, Chateau Nannyo is not home to a NYE Gathering, I will miss my Gathered friends, but it's lovely to not be fretting over who sleeps where, and whether the downstairs loo is clean enough.
I resolve this yeat to try and be kinder, to work harder and to approach life with a stronger sense of calm than before. This doesn't mean I'm going to stop fighting the good fight, just that I will try and breathe, and not to over react.
May all your joys increase!
