The weather is changing lately, work is winding down at the office, the children have finished their final exams and school is almost up.
The year is all too quickly drawing to a close again. It's been a long, often exhausting and mind-numbing 10 months for me - my first year back at full time work after my youngest was born 3 years ago.
It took all my energy just to keep moving through different responsibilities everyday. At times I went through the motions mechanically (or lethargically? ) or was possibly curt or thoughtless to those who worked with me. Yet, it was their help, support or counsel that smoothed things over in difficult or stressful moments.
Made these quick thank you cards (or tags?) for my colleagues - they'll be sitting atop packs of delicious choc chip cookies that Serena has so kindly agreed to bake - early Christmas gifts before we all go off for a much needed break :)
Are there some people in your life that you couldn't have done without this year? Perhaps your co-workers, friends, neighbours.... people who form part of your everyday, going about their routines quietly but bringing ease or comfort without you even realising it...
“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”
- Thornton Wilder -Sheon
