This year has been full of new discoveries: hobbies, books, people, practises. It was so challenging. So much anxiety and fear and shame rose and settled and rose again. And still every uncomfortable moment was absolutely worth it. To say nothing of all the rose tinted warm and happy ones. Like the flower gardens in city centre and my new roses in my garden, the giddiness of smelling pine on hot midday air , the bliss of good food and better company or even no company at all, the thrill of trying something scary and coming out on the other side still breathing and sharing the win with friends. Here is to even more and more and more.
