The path was winding through varied landscapes. Sunny days of happiness and joy, and darker days of pain and frustration. You know life works that way.
The canvas of the year has been painted. It is complete, and there is no going back. You may now hang it in your gallery of experience, learning and growth.
And you look forward. A new canvas on the easel is waiting for its first stroke of paint. Your mind sees bright colors and lots of light. For health and happiness, and peace on earth.
And right now, in this moment, you are here. On the threshold of a brand new year. In the flow of life.
May your new year become a wonderful painting! ❤ Tiny

You have “painted” some beautiful images here! Stunning against that blue sky!
Thank you, Susan. That whole park (Honeymoon Island) was stunning in its beauty. I have yet to write a post about my long hike there.
