Melinda's places, people, projects...
Wherever this journey leads, I will explore as many passions as I am able along the way.

What today brings...

Posted 1/13/12
Yes, the days are longer and it is the start of a new year. I'm certainly grateful for all the sunny days we've been enjoying. It's so much easier to start something new when the days are bright and full of light. I'm watching the kumquats get more and more orange. I can hardly wait!

Many, many changes this year and I hope all will prove to be good. There seem to be fewer sad or tragic stories so perhaps we've turned a corner. Among the things on my resolution list is to make at least one thing a little bit better every day. So far, I've managed to get some long overdue cleaning projects finished and some organizing projects as well. Garden management takes me considerably more time now, but so far, I've been able to be organized about it and to keep on top of things. Plants are so much like humans; they want to thrive.

I still am living a bit in the hibernation mode, but will have to become more sociable soon. It's felt so good to just be 'quiet' and think. I'm anxious to see who will come into my life this coming year. I'm beginning to anticipate the adventure of new acquaintances.
