“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” ― T. S. Eliot

#AlphabetChallenge #ThemesWeek Week H: Hygge — Those things that bring you comfort and happiness, especially during the cold, dark days of winter. It has been said that happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur in the every day than in rare moments of great good fortune.

Good Sunday morning, fellow travelers. “All round is haste, confusion, noise. For power and wealth men stretch the day from dawn till dusk. But quietly I go my way. The green of all the fields is mine. The stars, the night, the wind at play, A peaceful heart, while quietly I go my way.” — Ehrmann

Happy #Caturday, friends! Or, at my house, sCATterday 🙄

#Christmas “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” — Ebenezer Scrooge, from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

Good Sunday morning, fellow travelers. #ImageAndVerse #WinterSolstice #Nature #Stunday #MobilePhotography "This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future." — Margaret Atwood.

1/2: Our most original and unexpected ideas arrive not when we strain the mind at the problem, but when we relax it and shift the beam of attention to something else entirely; it is then that the unconscious shines its sidewise gleam on an unexpected solution….” Maria Popova

What are your most used words? Who interacts with you most often? Where do you rate on total word average and most unique words?

“Love is a fire that takes two to keep burning, but one to extinguish — if the hearth of either heart is too damp with doubt, both wake up one day to find their hands cupping ashes. And yet when two people have loved each other and parted, the fire is forever embering between them….” — Maria Popova

Good Sunday morning, fellow travelers. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindows “Can you bring all your faculties to the front, like a house with many windows; or do you live retired within yourself, shut up within your own meditations?” — John Burroughs
