Untitled No. 1

Today marks seven days into 2023. That's one week down with 51 left to go. 51 weeks from now, what will you remember from your first week in 2023?

Today I took a late afternoon stroll along the Moto-Arakawa River that passes through my town. As I strolled along the riverside, the sun was just beginning to set and I was struck by the beauty of the distant landscape. Winter can be so muted and drab, but when the sunlight is just right, the blue of the sky and the green of the grass along the riverbank can be so beautiful and picturesque. It reminded me that we should all remember to look up at our surroundings every once in awhile so we don't miss these tiny moments of pure beauty.
