This time of year I’m usually well into enjoying the Christmas season & all the many things I love about it. Things are a little different this year. We’ve got our tree – the smell of pine throughout the house, baking will be done – eventually! And we’ve got our usual end of year events & breakups. That’s the part that’s different. This year, each end of year event we go to we’re very aware it’s our last for a long time & in some cases it’s the end fullstop. It’s times like these that make going hard. Being surrounded by friends, knowing they’ll continue to enjoy each others company & friendship & we’ll miss out on it. The friends we’ve come to love like family that we won’t be able to just ring up or pop in on. Our homeschool group that we’ve done life with for the last 6-7 years, making homeschooling not only ‘doable’ but ‘enjoyable’. I think it must all be having an effect on me cos yesterday while walking round the garden, I even had a cry amongst the trees we grew from seedlings & have watched grow into trees the kids can climb. (I had just gotten home from a homeschool get together, so that might have had a little part to play!). Anyway, some seasons are harder than others – and this season of lasts isn’t my favourite one. The upside is, after this season must come the season of firsts & while I know that will bring with it it’s own challenges, I get to take 7 of my besties with me for the adventure!
