hello. i trust you had a beautiful weekend. hopefully filled with all things wonderful, bright and beautiful. my weekend was intense, crazy and a bit wonderful too. snow fell, then it melted and then the skies cleared and the world looks as if the snow never came. i look back at pictures from friday and today and i'm shocked.
it was an anniversary for me - one year since i moved back home. one year since a life changing event occurred. looking back at the year, a lot has changed in that time. i've emerged completely into a full family life, i have a challenging (rewarding, frustrating, intense, fulfilling, crazy...) job that is keeping me on my toes, i live in a house and not an apartment - complete with different responsibilities, and so many more subtle things.
oh the things i could talk about if we could settle down for a cup of coffee, but meetings beckon me. i want to catch up with all of you.
happy day to you and oh what a lovely photo
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing shot! i hope you have a good tuesday!

Char, you have helped to make my year amazing. I wish you a belated Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeletei know i'm a little behind on my reading and commenting..but happy anniversary. isn't blogging marvelous? you have a record of the past year and all of the subtle changes to look back upon. i think it's amazing to see how far you've come, without really knowing it because it all happened in increments. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour life is wonderfully full and vibrant...even if it exhausts you to the core sometimes. But isn't it a good kind of exhaustion? The kind you get after a really good workout? A long hike or day on the ski hill? I love that kind of tired. It's a satisfying kind of tired...as long as you take time out for yourself!
