Promise & Peace

As the sun rises over Las Vegas for the first time in 2021, I tighten my robe to cut the chill in the air.  I feel a bit groggy as I adjust from Baja time. My fingers are slow as they type into google, but I search for a quote that resonated with me once before. One that seems fitting for this new day, for this start to the new year. As I stand at this crossroads emerging from two months in Mexico and transitioning back into the life we've built in Las Vegas. 

By the way, who else was a bit relieved the date didn't turn to 13/1/2020 when the clock struck midnight? 

Aha! Found it.

“May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace...” ― Umair Siddiqui

One word I heard used over and over again to describe La Paz was "tranquilo" maybe it is the calm and quiet that stole my heart? Perhaps it is what lures us to return to the city of peace time and again.

As I reflect on our trial subscription to life in La Paz and the challenging year that 2020 unraveled to be I am comforted to think that the tranquilo experience was just what was needed to soothe my exhausted soul. Granted there is no magic wand to be waived; instead, we must weather the storm. Learn lessons along the way and never forget life is a mixture of sunshine and rain. 

2020 was a difficult year felt around the globe. My new year wish for us all is peace. May it soothe all of our exhausted souls and allow us to heal.
