The holiday break
saw time slowing down
family recharging time
new foods being explored
time with loved ones
reconnecting with dear friends
cool swims in blue pools
walks on beaches collecting, collecting…always collecting
long chats over long coffees
short chats over new toys
belly laughing baby giggles
baby legs finding a new footing
time to inhale
exhale
hello 2013

Oh, what wonderful sentences. Blue ponds.. Ah, that sounds like what I need. We spent the eve on the couch with both a box of Kleenex and a bottle of champagne. We sneeze, cough and ache – but getting better. A nice stroll through the park later with the cool winter air should do us some good. Happy New year, Brydie!
