Happy New Year to all!

I think, if possible, it is good to just take the days of 2022 one day at a time, for the most part. At least that's what I'm going to try to do.

Hubby and I are spending the evening and tomorrow at home, just the two of us. I'm OK with that. I did decorate the dinner table nicely and put our new duvet cover and pillow cases on the bed. That is a simple little symbolic gesture. I will make a nice dinner later on. Both Hubby and I took long showers and spruced ourselves up a bit. We plan to rent some nice movie to watch tonight. I suppose I'll see 2022 a little sooner than most here, living in Central Europe.

There's a particular wild bird that's always on the bird feeder just out our kitchen window. Often he sits there for what seems like a half an hour, just staring and staring at us. Not even eating, clearly not afraid. We joke that he looks in at the fresh berries we always eat for breakfast, thinking "It's almost January. Where in the heck do those two find those blueberries and raspberries!" We actually looked and they are imported all the way from Peru. He hasn't an inkling that such a place exists, but it does. Attached are a few photos we took when we were once there. One could find symbolism in them.
