I once saw a funny reel about people who alway take a picture of a beautiful sunset. I chuckled knowing I will always be the person who takes a picture of any beautiful sky.
And I realized that was exactly how I wanted to remember my 2025 👉 Beach trips, runs, happiness, festivals, Portugal, grief, bubble protest, bike rides, peace, dog sits, celebrating my dad, sorrow, being at home, walks, joy, driving, New Orleans, New York…the skies all here 🌌
I spent a lot of time looking at this sky this year. It was my first year with my dad and I truly cannot tell you how much I hate that.
I looked to the sky and pondered how quickly life moves, how precious time is, and how truly living is our single greatest gift.
I’d look to the sky wondering if I’m doing enough with my time here or I was just watching time pass by.
I found comfort in the magnitude of the sunrise. Joy in the rare moment I was able to capture the rising full moon. And longing, but beauty, in many sunsets.
The year ebbed and flowed and ended much differently than it started which I’m magnificently grateful for.
I’m entering 2026 feeling hopeful and that’s a new feeling for me…Cautious but excited.
And I’m grateful for that too.
