WELCOME 2026!

A new year has arrived, and with it, a quiet pause from me. This last week was especially wonderful as we enjoyed the calm days between Christmas and New Year’s—a slow stretch of time. Even though I didn’t know what day it was half the time, it was a good week of doing nothing—unhurried mornings sipping my coffee by the fire and time that was simply enjoyed rather than filled.

As I continue healing and finding my rhythm again, this start to 2026 feels less about doing and more about simply being. I pretty much have nothing to share with you this week for Tuesday Tidbits as I enjoyed the quiet and the marked improvement in my walking without a cane! I use it in the morning and during the night. I am close to “ditching the cane!” (That phrase came from Butch Richardson from Everyday Living. He had mentioned it to me in a comment and it made me smile!)

Oh, I did take down Christmas. It’s packed away but some boxes need to be put in the attic. I am not quite ready to climb the attic ladder quite yet so Christmas is tucked away in the guest bedroom.

As the year begins, I’m celebrating small but meaningful steps—like saying goodbye to the cane and easing back into neighborhood walks.

I am curious whether these Narcissus are blooming in the neighborhood around the corner from me. I guess the only way I am going to find out is to walk over there and see for myself!

Happy 2026!

Here’s to healing, fresh air, and taking this new year one gentle day at a time.

Wishing you a gentle, hopeful start to 2026! Thank you always for visiting. Happy New Year Dear Friends!
