Hello! Here we are again! Hope that the Christmas holiday brought some good times to your door, even if not yet to your writing desk or your blank pages.
Here, after very lovely times with family I have new books to read and inspire me, bright flowers to make me happy, candles to add the perfect atmosphere to my workroom, a most beautifully blue notebook for when I need it, and boxes of chocolates to eat instead of preparing nourishing meals.
Oops. Maybe correct that last suggestion. . .
More seriously, I can't help thinking about tonight and the bells that will ring the change from one year to the next, with all the struggling hopes and fears for what that this particular future will bring, in so many ways, and to whom.
This particular infant year faces a hard journey ahead for as the illustrator Chris Riddell showed so aptly in his current cartoon.
Nevertheless, in the spirit of hope - both the small everyday kind as well as hope for greater matters, here's to the first day of this January and to stepping onwards towards the light.
Wishing all Awfully Big Blog Adventure bloggers and readers the very best for 2024!
