There are two blogs that I follow quite regularly; Nine of Cups and Christine Kling | Write On The
Water. Both are sailors and
writers. Marge of Nine of Cups posted 12 photos that highlighted the past year. Christine of Learnativity selected three words to guide her for the coming
year. Both seemed like good ideas. I felt that perhaps I should start reflecting
on each year’s passage and not treat it as just another day as I usually do. The remaining years are just too precious to
let slip by.
So here are our pictures for 2015:
January: The New Year
saw us back in Australia and staying at our house in Bellingen. The kids came from Canberra for a visit and
to see the old homestead once again.
February: In Bellingen we were continuing the extensive home
renovations through a very wet subtropical summer.
March: We packed up
all our belongings to get ready to return to Songster in Turkey.
April: Back in Turkey
living on the hard doing maintenance on Songster.
May: Getting a new
engine for Songster.
June: Dave and Thea came
to visit with lots of land and sea travel.
July: Our visit to London to see Pam.
August: Our road trip
around the UK in our embarrassing pink camper van.
September: Our trip
on Bathsheba with Tazeena.
October: Our Lycian
Cruise with the Cruising Association.
November: Our trip to
Ephesus, Pamukkale and places in between.
Finally December saw us travelling through Eastern Europe marvelling
at the beautiful Christmas lights.
Not a bad year. There
was some hard work, lots of land and sea travel and wonderful times with new
and old friends.
So what about 2016 and my three words to guide me? I thought long and hard about this. My first three words were: Purposefulness, Discipline and Understanding with
lots of ‘to dos’ and ‘shoulds’ attached to them. Then I decided I would not make a rod for my
back and set myself up to fail. Instead,
my final words for 2016 are:
with the world and its people. 2016 HERE WE COME!
