The blanket she pulled over herself was sumptuously soft. Running her fingers over the deep blue velveteen she carefully traced over the delicate embroidery. Skilfully hand-sewn in a riot of coloured threads was a Bird of Paradise, its wings spread out majestically, the golden threads catching in the light. She pondered the effort, skill and dedication that the seamstress would undoubtedly put into creating such a piece of work. Turning it over, the knots of thread show the quiet toil behind the scenes. Like life, it is the hard work carried out backstage, the endless, repetitive and often mundane work, that’s not on display, that binds the whole thing together.
Pulling out her journal, she began to reflect on the passing year. The mixed bag of highs and lows, of hard-won achievements and an abundance of setbacks, of tears and laughter, love and hurts. And whilst the year had had its challenges, she was grateful beyond measure to end the year with everyone healthy and happy and ready to see what the New Year will bring.
