In these few days between Christmas and the New Year I've been thinking about the different things we have experienced during this between-time, and remembering.......
....being whisked off to Penang by my son and his wife to stay in a beautiful hotel on the beach for a few days, such luxury!
....a carriage ride in a snowy village in Austria, where the driver offered us a share of his bottle of schnapps as we clip- clopped through the mountains,
....unexpected Christmas lunch with my younger son and his wife while my husband was in hospital,
.....learning to cross country ski in a mountain village in Canada where my daughter was living, (and falling over a lot)
....taking the ferry from France to England to spend the week with family in the snowy North of England, and wondering , as the snow got thicker, if we would ever get safely there.
So many nostalgic memories over the years. The last few have been quieter, more home based, still peaceful and enjoyable. Time to be thankful for what we have enjoyed, and time to gently plan a new Year.

😊 So much to be thankful for!
memories like these are pure treasure and I am turning to my memories more and more. It's not always about the next holiday/adventure, although we hope for many more but it's good to look back on these happy times and appreciate them and be thankful, thanks for reminding me :) Wishing you both a very happy and healthy New Year, Betty

Wonderful memories. Your memory of cross country skiing made me remember my first time snow shoeing. Oh my did I fall a lot.
God bless.
Wonderful memories. Since our daughter was born on December 27th it changed the week in between. Happy New Year to you!

I wish you a Very Happy New Year!
Reading your post today brought to mind something I read years ago and liked it so much I copied it out.
"The chief value of a delightful experience lies in the fact that it doesn't perish with the occasion but lives on indefinitely in the memory, so that the pleasure of the original impression is multiplied a thousand fold and can be recaptured at will."
It's wonderful to have such occasions. Have a Blessed New Year.
