I’ve realized one of my new years resolutions, to read more books & write about them then I did in 2017, has somewhat failed miserably this year. How disappointing. But alas, reflecting, it hasn’t been out of laziness. On the contrary, my year has been so filled with good and beautiful things, taking up lots of energy, that my novel reading & writing about it has just slipped past without me even quite realizing it.
These good and beautiful things of 2018 have tied in, of course, with my blog silence over the past few months, as well as the long silences throughout the entire year!
Perhaps more on the happenings of 2018 later. For now, I’m pondering the things that have replaced my reading & writing resolution, and how interesting it is to note that often the best of things happen upon us when we’re not even looking for them.

That’s happened to me, too, some years; and it’s so good to reflect on what life has given us that was different from “our plans.”
