The year is nearing its end, a new decade is about to begin and the holiday dates of celebration are just days away. For some of us, the year 2019 may have seemingly flown by, but others may be eager to see it end or sad to see it depart. However you are feeling during this time of year, I hope you are able to find something to celebrate and for which to be grateful.

I am certainly grateful for the opportunity of your time and interest to share ideas and inspiration that have the potential to increase the contentment in your unique everyday life. Our everyday lives truly do ebb and flow. Some days and weeks and even months contain more energy and enthusiasm while others lope along at a gradual pace. Such is the case of the latter for me this past week; however, I have no doubt it is largely because of the two weeks of holiday waiting to be enjoyed. That is a wonderful dilemma. 

Over the next two weeks until the next TSLL newsletter arrives in your inbox (beginning Monday December 23^rdand running through December 31^st, TSLL will be taking its annual week off), it is my wish that you have many opportunities to savor moments of rejuvenation, exhilaration and immense joy with those you love and on your own. Thank you for choosing to subscribe to TSLL’s newsletter, and thank you for your kindness this year. TSLL kicks off its second decade in 2020 (look for a post celebrating TSLL’s 10th anniversary on Dec. 26th!), and I am extremely excited about all that will transpire in the next decade.

In today’s newsletter discover a new somewhat regular monthly post that readers have been enjoying – Saturday Ponderings. As well, two holiday posts are included to offer some last minute inspiration on décor which include pics from my annual tree outing which turned into quite an adventure in a winter wonderland. There is much more to enjoy, and I do hope you find something that catches your eye and your interest. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the holiday season and a happy new year. Until Friday January 3^rd, I’ll see you on the blog!
