Wishing all Dingdashers a Happy New Year! 🍾❄🎊🎆 We live in uncertain times in many ways, and don't know what the future holds - but we know who holds the future. Some of you live under more pressure than others. I pray for peace in your hearts! It's easier said than done, and I am learning myself to trust the Lord when it comes to things I worry about.

Most of us have felt more isolated the last almost two years. I worked from home during 1,5 years, except from the fall of 2021 (and will continue in Jan). I haven't traveled outside of Finland and Sweden for 2 years. We haven't attended big events. It's strange and frustrating. I've learnt to love nature even more. I took this picture yesterday close to home, and this untouched snow and vast forest almost made me cry. We have enjoyed this beautiful white winter ever since around Nov 20th. This dark time of the year (light for appr. 4 hours) can be depressing if it's raining, as some winters.

@tanjaostman thanks Tanja. Pictures of snow make me very happy, and we always enjoy them as a family.

Yes the last two years are very odd

I was tentatively encouraged by the most recent Health Minister for the UK, stating how he wants to see all restrictions lifted during 2022.

He was even honest about how little omicron has had on the nation when compared to previous versions

We'll see how things turn out...but I'll take hope in what he said...
