What a lovely Christmas that was. Time spent with family and friends, no rushing about, just relaxed and peaceful. Just the way I like it.
We didn't really 'do' much Christmassy stuff, the boys are adults now and do their own thing, I think it was the first Christmas where I didn't have any Christmas activities booked. The only thing I was missing was some long walks with the hound. Its our first Christmas in about 16 years that we didn't have a dog. I really miss having a hound around but our lives have changed and we are home less so its not fair to have a dog and then leave it on its own for hours whilst we work. There are 2 hounds on the distant horizon, ( we both know the next hounds we want !) but the times not right, hubs and I are happy to wait.
As the year draws to an end I am excited to see what 2019 will bring, it promises good things and changes are ahead. 2018 felt like a waiting period, I drifted through the year, went off course in many respects and lost myself for a while. But I have pulled myself back in and am setting a course through the coming year. 2019 is set to be a big year, each step will be revealed as each hurdle is jumped, sorry to be secretive but there are lots of things that need to align and I need to keep myself in the moment or I will drift another year away. The first change for the new year will put into action tomorrow, seems fitting that its new years eve !
I'll leave you with probably one of the best friend gifts I have ever received
