The new day dawns, the new year arrives with bitter cold and bright sun as well as five gallon flood from our fish tank and an old dog who pooped on herself. So indeed the shit does lay upon the path and this was no auspicious way to begin the new year. But we have resolved to reckon with the hardship and to soldier on.
Dean was up at four am dealing with all of this, but after a nap and cup of coffee, we still went for our walk in 14F weather. Brisk and bitter but warming on the inside and hopeful for the new year despite the "shit" that comes our way. With resolve we can reckon with what comes our way. With gratitude practice things only continue to get better.
The beacon of lights which was our pretty balsam Christmas tree came down today as is my New Year's day ritual. It stayed lit all this bitter cold week warming our hearts and that warmth remain there as we wait for the sun to return and the warmth of the air.
