\"\"<\/a>A Pause.<\/p>\n

With auntie home from rehab following her surgery the immediate family is officially all home together. Our idea of a good New Year\u2019s eve, tucked in out of the storm, maybe wake up when the noise begins, maybe not.<\/p>\n

Been a year of ups and downs, like they all are. Perhaps a bit harder than some\u2026<\/p>\n

Hoping for the New Year, pretty much like always.<\/p>\n

I feel the fragility of it all. Cherishing what is. Wanting to hold it all lightly, often can, but sometimes it seems impossible not to cling, even knowing there\u2019s no stopping the race of change\u2026<\/p>\n

Thinking of friends. <\/p>\n

Wishing all a safe and sane\u2026<\/p>\n
