Ten Days of Little Celebrations – January 2016
/I enjoy the big celebrations of the year....but the little celebrations that happen daily are the ones that keep me going all year long. Here are my top 10 for January 2016:
The most recent celebrations have to do with snow:
- Getting home from the airport in the ice and snow (it had just started coming down…so nothing had been treated yet)
- A snow big enough to cover everything and close just about everything – snow days and snow ice cream
I travelled to Tucson, Arizona this month and about half the celebrations are associated with that trip (and I still have a lot of posts in the works about that travel):
- Birds of southern Arizona (hummingbirds and turkeys!)
Mount Lemmon (snow at the top)- Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (plants and free flight raptor programs)
- Tohono Chul (steps to the roof as plant stand, rocks, small meditation garden)
- Tucson Botanical Garden (butterfly exhibit…cactus…rocks)
January 2016 included my 43rd wedding anniversary....maybe that should be a ‘big’ celebration!
There was also a funeral in the family this month – a sad event but also a celebration of a person’s life and of continuity of family over long periods of time.
And last but not least, I spent more than a third of the month away from home ---- so it was a celebration just coming home again (in time for the big snow).
