Festive White Out!

I have been wishing so hard for snow but alas, it looks like I'll be waiting at least one more year to enjoy my first White Christmas. Next year I might go to Scandinavia - it doesn't harm to load the dice sometimes, does it?

So. No snow. But this year, I'm going to create a little white-out of my own...

• The past few months have been so busy and a bit bumpy, leaving me feeling tightly wound and fragile.

• So I'm going to retreat to within the comfort of my own four walls for a bit, allowing for the option to take occasional long walks - in solitude - and perhaps release some pent up emotions...

• I'm planning to sleep as much as I can, read my way through a mountain of delights, and perhaps not brush my hair much.

• I hope to emerge with fewer sharp edges, able to see my way forward more clearly again, and to have renewed appreciation for the beauty and wonder that surrounds me every day.

As you might know, it's unusual for me to seek a world less colourful but all I see in the white space right now is peace and restoration. And that's a space I long to inhabit. Just for a day or two.

And while I'm there, I'm wishing you a special holiday filled with your chosen delights. A holiday spent in the way that makes you most deeply happy. Happy and content. To your core. 

For each, this will take a unique shape - fleeting but beautiful. 

I hope that it provides the soulfood you need to restore and re-energise in readiness for the new year, which promises to be another full of colour, beauty and adventure in our blogosphere.

And most of all I hope, that whatever shape yours takes, it brings you joy.

See you again soon...
