A New Year begins.....

Gambar
How time slips away....more quickly now than ever...one week begins and ends almost in a wink !! This year has been filled with change for me, a temporary address while we renovate our forty something home....watching our oldest son leaving his maternal home, more difficult for him than I could ever have imagined, and my youngest son hosting Christmas Eve for the first time.....good change, but still, always trepidation for those involved....we are all managing very well! I am always grateful and try to remain mindful of those less fortunate....wishing all my readers the very best of the new coming year!! N.xo This is my 99th post, sent from my iPad, another new beginning!! N.xo

Hallelujah!

Christmas Eve morning, as I was driving back home, with the last of my errands completed, something interesting came across the CBC radio station I listen to....it caught my attention and made me listen more intently than usual...   It was about the impact of the song, Hallelujah, almost thirty years after it's release, sung by Jeff Buckley, and made famous by Leonard Cohen...that incredible word, what it evokes, even if you are of little faith... the words, telling of how joy and sorrow are inexplicably interwoven.... how we can't experience one without the other... ...it gave me pause.... I have always loved the song, my favourite rendition perhaps, by k.d. Lang. It was sung by Lang at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and I recall the power and strength of the words, the feelings it evokes in me every time I hear it.... This Christmas, more than any other, it resonated strongly with me....how, in desperation, we throw our arms heavenward looking for an answer, consolatio...

Today, just like everyday, I went back to check on the progress of the renovation to our home in Jordan... I like to go on the weekend, when all the trades are absent, and I can look at what has been done through the week, alone, without company or observation... It was a wet, drizzly and foggy day today, not looking like Christmas at all... The light coming in through the big, new windows was a flat, dull grey... but I liked the way it played off the walls, and the paint colour I had chosen, Cake Batter. I thought it would work nicely with the greens and whites I like to decorate with at Christmas, and the newly upholstered sofas, now renewed with a creamy cotton duck fabric. Two tufted, vintage bedroom chairs will join them, recovered in a green pastoral toile fabric. To date that is really all I have decided to do until we move back in.   It's been a learning curve these last few months, every little detail must be considered to avoid disappoin...
