“When Tom arrived home, the whole house was silent, yet everything spoke. It was as if the house had been burgled but it wasn‘t the contents that‘d been stolen, it was the context.”

Happy Monday! I am savoring these last few days of 2025 and looking forward to a nice chilly wintry week.
I do not celebrate NYE (too peopley) but I like to chill with family and play games or watch movies on NYD. In the new year I plan to live purposefully with gratitude, and also celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence 🇺🇸 What about you?

This may be the best book of my 2025 reads.
