This week’s prompt was “Leaving one year behind and going into the next“.
The last few years have always presented difficulties for me even though I have always cast out the old year with it’s problems and tried to bring in more positive outcomes for the incoming New Year.
This year for some reason I felt quite different over the Christmas/New Year period and I still feel quite different despite some complications and irritations that re-surfaced over the Christmas period and into the New Year.
This photo was taken on a failed mission to deliver Christmas presents three years ago on Christmas Eve. It was the last Christmas I spent with my father before he passed away.
The memory of visiting that lake shrouded in mist always brings a smile to my face

May troubles fade away.
Positive thoughts James
Life is complicated, Cherie. Mixed emotions are valid. Go forward with confidence and don’t let the buggers get you down. Excuse the language.
Yes life is complicated and I always say, life is for learning.
Thank you
Life is so varied, and rarely happens the way you think it will. No wonder we have mixed feeling this time of year. I am with you on that, Cherie
I always feel it the time of year for endings and beginnings.
Each day is a new life, if you make it so.
Yes if we could just get our heads in the right place to make it so
Good, and it’s a lovely photo.
Thank you
A great atmospheric photo.
I am glad you find it so
