and a Happy New Year

the boys are now asleep. my husband is in Athens. and I can hear the sound of flooding champagne and affectionate conversations echoing through the four walls and the ceiling of my bedroom. I am alone on New Year's Eve with my two beautiful sons. and even if all I did today was dusting the house and giving my dog a bath, seriously, I just can't complain. I think of the past year. like thumbing through an old photo album trying to capture the scent, the music, the feel. I smile. I tripped and fell. but I've lived. and I've learned.

Happy, Happy New Year everyone,

may your days be filled with love and showered with blessings, always.

xoxo
