“Ring the bells that still can ring / Forget your perfect offering / There is a crack, a crack in everything / That’s how the light gets in”. 

Lyrics from Anthem, Leonard Cohen

We have sung the hymns and eaten the pudding, lit the candles and gone about giving. I am blessed to have had everyone for 24-hours under one roof and an 11-month grandson that never stopped smiling. Things ache, my eyes are tired but the light oh the light is bright and inspired by my family, and you.

Happy Everything. Let’s stick together in 2026. Promise not to rant.

January I celebrate fourteen years writing online, sending my words into the stratosphere.

Blessed be. We are still here.
