It’s just another day, really — but this last one of the year always seems to arrive weighed down by a vast and slightly unbalanced load of meaning.

Add a dash of melancholy and a splash of nostalgia and it’s time to head outside and see what nature has to prescribe.

Be thoughtful

Be kind

Be a good listener

Find wonder in small things

Be determined

These are just a few of the suggestions the local crows and ravens have given me for 2024.

I’m sure there a lot more (curiosity, confidence, pizzazz …. but I’d be writing all day!)

Wishing us all joy, beauty, hope and peace for the New Year.

 

PS This morning’s reminder from Geordie that the “kindness” thing CAN be taken too far …
