I just celebrated my New Year’s Eve birthday and I’m not sure how I feel about that! But the day was glorious and frosty and sparked my motivation though I’m still in a fits and start mode!! Bear with me friends!! 🙂 The sun warms the soul and I’m brimming with New Year’s resolutions.
It was a quiet birthday, even a sad birthday, I’m still struggling, I had a few calls and emails, twitter greetings etc
But…… Jack Frost left me clumps of diamonds on the woodland path! What more could I ask?
And at the Royal Theater we watched Elsa (Frozen) dance in the innovative Victoria Ballet Production of The Gift – a different interpretation of the Nutcracker. We laughed when the children from the local ballet school huddled together as little frightened mice with their tiny knees knocking together.
Last year at the Nutcracker
I’m sure it was Elsa, the ice queen who also left me this gift of a wilting seaside daisy in a frozen ice puddle near the beach. I think our sweet T told her it was my birthday when we met her backstage.
May your path have heart and your heart be strong. May we all have grand adventures and plenty of stories and photos to show and tell in the new year.

Happy 2015 and belated birthday greetings to you Cybele. Wishing you much joy and many blessings over the coming year.
