Such a Special Day –12.31.19

With only hours remaining of this last day of the year and decade, I am remembering the day, season and times past with

A “Times Square Celebration”

A shimmering silver ball from the “Times Square Ball Collection, Celebrating 100 years”in the Waterford Collection®️ by Jim O’Leary. A 2019 Christmas gift

A Silver Anniversary

The wedding-belled, silver-framed invitation from 1994, announcing their 25th Silver Anniversary and displayed at tonight’s New Year’s Eve party

The last flowers of a Christmas-gifted bouquet, refreshed by another’s gift, testimony to the staying and ever-new power of love

Tempus Fugit

A decades-old clock, reminding all that time is a gift, ever present

 

and my wish to all for a Happy New Year.

Consider:

What pictures would you choose to remember 2019 with joy?
