Before I take my annual blog / social media hibernation for the next couple of weeks, I just wanted as always to share a little festive something I’ve written.
The actual inspiration for this came from a brilliant post on Instagram I saw last week. Life can throw all sorts of things at us, regardless of the time of year. And it’s in that spirit I wanted to write this.
From my pen and home to yours, wishing you a safe, peaceful and joyful Christmas however you may be spending it. We go again in 2024 👍🏻🎄📝❤️❄️

Be Present
For the moments of unadulterated joy.
For the moments of sorrow and despair.
For the moments of heartwarming generosity.
For the moments of struggle against the jaws of defeat.
For the moments of light and sparkle.
For the moments sent to try us.
For the moments of celebration.
For the moments of commiseration.
For the moments where the time is not our own.
For the moments we get to stop and take a pause.
For the moments of kindness and compassion.
For the moments of cruelty and rejection.
For the moments of empathy and thoughtfulness.
For the moments of vanity and self importance.
For the moments of broad knowledge.
For the moments of learning and understanding.
In whatever moments, such as these, that we find ourselves in, it is always important to remember that life, in all its forms, is a gift, and these two simple words.
Be Present.
