I can hardly believe that this September will mark my 20th Anniversary of blogging!
Back in September 2006, after chatting back and forth with my BFF in England, we decided it would be a fun way for the two of us to catch up on all the things that were happening in our daily lives.
Even though we were writing letters back and forth monthly, this way we could post pictures to go along with the stories. I don't think at the time I imagined still stopping by this little online space to jot down thoughts and upload photos.
I love winter and the month of January.
New journals have been opened and with anticipation, I have filled in the first page ~January 1st, with thoughts and dreams. Along with affirmation journals, a devotional journal, and art journal, I have a nature journal sitting on the window seat in our kitchen. This year I will keep a better record of the birds that stop by our garden. I will record the time of day, weather, eating habits etc ....
The first bird of 2026 to stop by the feeder was the Downy Woodpecker.
I rarely make new year's resolutions,
although this year I hope to bring out my ukelele and practice more!
I do, however choose a "guiding word"
..... this year the word I spotted most often was Joy.
Gratitude is the gateway to joy
I hope you Dance

And I've lots of ideas for joy filled paintings :-)
Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world.
Wishing you a New Year filled with love, luck, laughter & joy!
