I feel like I’m slowly getting the stronghold over the cold that’s been bugging me for over two weeks. It’s almost as if I was emerging from a misty cloud. My senses reopen. My thoughts get a brighter tone. This is the way I recognize myself. I took the below photo during my last climb up the Eiffel Tower. Paris inveigles me with all her resplendent bridges. They all seem to have a personality. From modest to cocky. They weave together the artistic left bank to the commercial right bank. Of course the division is not so clear cut – life never is.
This year I’m gliding into the Christmas festivities with serenity. Actually I always do. Just like the splendid Parisian over water walkways and ride-abouts, I long to knit together the year gone by with the new exiting dawn. I strive to remember people around me and at the same time, take time to plunge deeper into what I am – what I can become. The reason for that… discovering passion, motivation and that magical force that makes you see diamonds everywhere.

so good you are getting to feeling better. me too. it’s like coming up from under the covers and seeing the sky again.
i like your idea of knitting together the year gone by with what is dawning… these connections in our lives are so vital. i read a quote today that said something like, our very existence, the fact that we are still here, means we still have much to experience and share. i like this idea so much. …enjoying your wanderings in life and in paris…
keep getting better and enjoy your glide into the christmas festivities… so nice to be able to share them with you…

Audrey – This year my Christmas looks so relaxing. I haven’t been shopping much and I like it. Keeping things pure and essential. I love the quote you shared. We still do have things to experience …and to share.
