AND now we begin again…Happy New Year

Posted on by ruthoffen

Just wanting to take a moment to acknowledge all the wonderful people in my life and say Thank you for being there.

Slowly realizing that the world is not yet open for travel, I must relish the small events of everyday life like shopping for food as an adventure.

Moments in the delicatessen tasting something new…realizing theses tango shoes are feeling a little off.

Hoping the humidity won’t break 75 today, remembering last night’s torrential rain shower and yet it is still so warm.

Realizing these little things in life are what grieves us. Mothers and fathers feeling each deeply, realizing you are missing your children or even yet …your best friends. You’re miss going traveling, eating, shopping and hanging out wih your best friend. After all who else would say, You look absolutely fantastic in that outfit, but those earrings have to go…and you know that was true and gladly accepted the loan of the earrings…

So no matter what you are doing or whom you are with…just start remembering the little things we have not experienced in a long time. Memories, Gratitude and do much to look forward to later in the years…hugs to all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Created by, Ruth Offen the former founder/director of WaterWorks Gallery, a gallery opened in 1985 to showcase contemporary artists and jewelers that live and work in the Pacific Northwest. The gallery is on an San Juan Island in the Salish Sea.[ North Puget Sound] Pretty amazing place. After 36 years, I have decided to spend more time enjoying life by dancing tango all over the world, traveling, continuing to develop my photography. Over many decades of amassing a personal art collection, now the process of downsizing is becoming a reality. How do we have more with less? Staying true to the motto, unencumbered by our possessions and not burdening our children with our stuff. This next process will take patience and courage. On the road to happiness. Its' the journey that counts!
