The Christmas season is nearly over, gone, kaput and all too quickly, boxing up the tree, decorations and lights is very near. In 4 more days, Australian Standard Eastern Time I along with my fellow Queenslanders celebrate the start of 2022.
What will the New Year bring?
We do not know for sure what 2022 will bring us but are you open to a lucky idea? Let me tell you a mythical cake story of how eating one piece of Christmas cake equalling one lucky month. A little weird and somewhat crazy with absolutely no basis to it whatsoever, and probably created by a Country Women's Association, but did you eat Christmas cake? Were you told how lucky fruit cake is? Just think, eating 12 little slices of 12 Christmas cakes made by 12 different people and voila you have a chance of a whole year of good luck! Does that sound believable or doable?
Maybe, maybe not. There are no guarantees with psychics reading your future, giving you direction or confirmation and cake makers definitely do not have crystal balls or magic fairy wands. The only magic is the smiling welcome with yummy cake, the choice to sip on tea or coffee as you chat around the table with like minded friends. The secret of the good luck comes with sharing inner thoughts, feelings, hopes and aims eating, talking and listening. It is the power of sharing filling you with the with positive encouragement and aspirations, that miraculously stays inside you as you walk out the warm kitchen of friendship into the New Year. Just think that if you sit around 12 different tables with friends eating cake and drinking coffee/tea the year has to be good one.
Would any of my hive blogger friends like a piece of my Christmas fruit cake? I have been making them for a lot of years and I can assure you it is very tasty this year with the flavour of nearly every dried fruit imaginable and a few generous nips of Grand Marner.

Funky cute little fairy doll came wrapped up in pretty paper and a bow now sits serenely on the window sill in my guest bedroom sending out its pretty golden sparkly energy. All I can feel is the love from my son who said that the moment he saw this little fairy doll it was meant for me. It does not matter how silver the hair becomes and how many wrinkles gathering around the eyes, we are always forever young in heart and spirit.......and especially in the eyes of our kids.

Somewhere over the rainbow is filling my whole being, it is a song of hope and well being. It is funny but very human how one grand celebration is over and how our minds automatically shift to the next momentous event and in this instance it is the New Year to come. So let us all wish as one big community for the happiest and healthiest year for us all adult and child in every country all over the world.
( Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole's version of this song is the best I have heard, he makes my heart sing.
