welcome 2020
did you celebrate new year's eve, welcoming in 2020?
the last day of 2019 was kinda crazy for me:
i went through a box labeled "mommy's treasures" and cried (because it was MY mom who wrote that on the lid)
i packed to return to italy
i tripped backwards over a lawnmower in the dark garage . . . falling to the floor, scattering the items i was carrying, and adding new bodily scrapes and bruises
i shared a delicious dinner and lively conversation with friends and family at winterchase (our idahome)
i yelled "happy new year" out the front door at midnight!
i went to bed, expecting (and getting) only 3 hours of sleep, before leaving early the next morning for a full 24 hours of travel (the reason my blog post is 2 days late :) )
“and now we welcome the new year. full of things that have never been."
