Merry Christmas - Cloistered Away

I’ve been quiet here lately, trying to focus more on the people right around me, on our togetherness. Still, the concentrated family time manages to feel blurry with warmth and goodness: sweet visits with both sides of our families, tasty foods and drinks mixed with raucous laughter and conversation, late night movies, and of course, anticipation. Typically, I would wedge in a little time here to write our experiences out, but this year, I’ve instead focused on rest and being present. I’ve also been reflecting on the year, and naturally, making some plans for the new one. I’ll be back soon to share some more, but wanted to say in the mean time, Merry Christmas.

I hope your holiday has been blurry with warmth and light. Thank you for following our family story here. xo
