Hello Blendfriends, welcome to 2024! This past couple days, we've had some beautiful thoughts on this forum. Martine reached out to us on friendship, and what it means to have each other on line. Julia sent us thoughts to prepare for the new year. So I will take my turn just to remind you, as I often do, to take some time to breathe, and to be.

I woke up to a brilliant day of sunshine, and I'm getting ready to go enjoy that with a long walk out in my favourite park. Wishing you all a brilliant start to the week, and the year.

PS If this message was too mellow for you, I've left a meme in the comments 😆
