Walking and riding

Enjoying a brisk walk outside in between the rain storms,  my thoughts turn to the contrast of our lives these days and the delicate balance of life in this season.

The sky stays grey on our walks around the neighborhood now, and the cold wind on our cheeks and in our lungs is exhilarating and refreshing. Returning home, outerwear is quickly ditched by the door, with the bustle of everyone rushing for a spot by the fire, I move through the kitchen with dinner preparations and holiday music playing in the background. The warmth of returning home is just as sweet and refreshing.
Yes, this is a most wonderful time of the year.
