For the first time in 8 years, our entire grand family gathered together this New Year’s night.
It was a miracle - a message from my childhood, and a way to relive that magic again.
We celebrated through 3 homes in different parts of the city, had walks, fireworks, Christmas trees, easter egg hunts (tshhh, yes, easter eggs in New Year), delicious food of course, and through it all, and above all - a lot of genuine smiles and connection we all embraced together.
It was my push to celebrate it this way, and I’m extremely happy how it played out. Having some more memories to cherish though this - hopefully great - year!
I know that hamster wheel feeling real close, and happy you had some time to escape it as well!
