Each year our family creates a self contained world for a few days during New Years week. We go to a cabin and spend quality time exploring nature, cooking together, playing board games, doing crafts, and having meaningful conversations. While, we love the change of scenery and always hope for some snow, and is the quality time away from everything and everyone that I treasure most . As we get older, we don’t remember the things people bought us, but we remember the memories we create with the people we love. These memories and relationships create resiliency. We cannot control everything that life will throw at us. We can choose to nuture family and community that bring us strength and purpose.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2026 and a special shout out to my dear cousin who is headed into the new year with a much cleaner bill of health! You know who you are ! we love you !
