This morning’s snowfall didn’t last all that long, but it seemed appropriate for the start of a new year. There’s something fresh and hopeful about a landscape blanketed in pristine softness. It’s akin to beginning a brand new journal, opening a calendar to the first of twelve untouched months, or stepping onto a beach where the outgoing tide has left the sand shiny and smooth, waiting for fresh footprints.
a beginning
filled with
unspoken promises
of new opportunities
Wishing you the exhilaration of a fresh start.

plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope.”
[Jeremiah 29:11]
“One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind
and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal…”
[Philippians 3:13–14)

I love your “snow” pictures. Sometimes I miss the snow! However, that never lasts long. I remember that with snow also comes cold! Hugs! Happy New Year my friend!
