On this sunny, cold, snow blanketed New Year's Day 2018, I'm thinking about family and where the new year will bring us.
First, as always, I want to be there to support my family's pursuits, adventures, questions, and decisions in the new year. Each person is thoughtful about his/her direction, and there will likely be new avenues to discover and hurtle in the days ahead. I want to offer a listening ear, my thoughts when desired, and a place where they can find peace, comfort, and welcome.
There's the continual efforts to make our home simple, welcoming, and inviting. We want a place where friends and family can gather, and a place where we can read, think, learn, and relax.
We will likely make plans to celebrate now and then too, celebrate birthdays, special events, and positive changes. I hope that we will not have to deal with really challenging or sad events. I always feel sad when I see families dealing with such occasions, events that no one ever desires.
It's likely to be a simple year, a year when we work to uplift the love, care, and attention we give to one another as we make our way in this world. Onward.
