HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Good morning to you on a sunny day from Switzerland! I wanted something light and airy with a touch of gold to celebrate a new year.  This is the same heart bowl as yesterday, but I wanted to show it in profile, including the glass stem with the white candle lit up.

The symbolic message I wish to share with this image is as follows:
Let's always rise above adversity, the flowing ribbons remind us to bring lightness and gaiety into our lives - to nurture the child within us all.  The white candle makes me think of the white page in our book of life, waiting for us to write our continuing life story. The flame shows us that whatever else is happening in our lives, there is always a light shining somewhere to guide us out of the darkness.

For anyone living in the Northern Hemisphere, did you know that right after the winter solstice, the days get longer by an average of 2 minutes and 7 seconds a day?  So that means between  December 21 until December 31st, we have gained 21.10 minutes of light! Isn't that uplifting?

Make your day wonderful, whatever your plans are today!

In the wise words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who recently died:
"Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."
