hope for the flowers

It's now been a year and a month since wonder | wander | women went into lockdown. Last year I was home with a month's worth of groceries, watching the cherry tree two streets over come into flower and then drop its blooms. I only saw it from my window, too anxious and disoriented to leave the house and cross the suddenly-silent city streets, even for our favourite flowers.

It was my birthday yesterday and I celebrated by taking myself on a date: walking, shopping, eating. Spending time alone after a hectic few months.

Reflecting back on the past year made me think of New Year traditions in different cultures: looking at our previous actions with wiser and kinder thoughts, learning our lessons and moving past our obstacles. Especially when we stand in our own way.
