A wonderful video! And such a relatable thing at this time of year, about the journeys we all make to be together with the ones we love. Those mountains look stunning, too. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family... 🎄😎🎄

Thank you so much Chris! Traveling and looking at the scenery gives me comfort. I could live on the road. The Siskiyou Mountains are pretty amazing. Merry Christmas to you and yours from this tiny little Oregon town (late in the evening when I can escape!) lol. Wishing you many blessings in the new year too! ox

Beautiful videography; the way you matched the pace of song to long stretches of country scenery…mesmerizing, like a meditation. I was waiting till you pulled up in her driveway! HA..felt like I was right there with you. Gentle hugs for your mum! Love you. ❤️

Oh thank you so much my dear friend. I appreciate you watching! It is a nice meditation I think :). So funny you said “waited for us to pull into the driveway” - but it was raining! ha ha! We get my brother and his dog waiting for us usually and it’s very sweet. I’ve video’d that in the past :)

And I have given mum your love and a light hug! lol. She is doing good thankfully. Tough cookie.

Love you Joanie. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Gentle hugs back. ox

Thank you friend. Oh boy. Blessed to have made it here! John got sick (still recouping), mum had a bad fall before we arrived (doing miraculously good and possibly jolted her head to where her severe vertigo is now gone!! It’s like out of a comedy really). I will be in touch after Christmas. Wishing you, your sister, and mom a peaceful holiday.

Luvluvluv. oxox

I really enjoyed your video, Deborah. Merry Christmas and I wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year.

Thank you so much friend. We’ve had some health calamities — but that’s all year round right? Christmas makes it a bit more challenging - but all good right now!

Wishing blessings, safety and good health to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Mark. Thank you for your support. ox

Spectacular scenery ! But two things do stand out.

The birds on the power lines and man and his best friend looking over the dam

Merry Christmas !

Thank you so much friend! I knew you’d love those two things!

Merry Christmas to you Ken. ox

Merry Christmas ❤️, love the movie, such a different landscape to Australia. 🙏💚

Deborah T. Hewitt's avatar

Thank you so much friend. It’s amazing how the world is so full of different landscapes. I love seeing your area too. I hope you’re doing well. I know it’s been an extremely sad time of it since Bondi :( But we are assured that a much higher power, and our angels, are carrying us. Sending my love to you this Christmas and always. Wishing you peace, safety and good health for the new year as well. ox

Thanks Deborah, l am doing well. I have just retired so looking forward to the freedom of no schedule for a bit. Yes, thank goodness for the angels who watch over humanity. Sending much love back to you, for Christmas and the New Year. 🙏❤️😇

Deborah T. Hewitt's avatar

Oh I remember you were retiring! Such a big adjustment. I’m sure you are navigating slowly, this new season. Sending you much love Simone. Thank you for your friendship here. Merry Christmas. ox

Thank you so very much! Your comment was the best gift. I put these little films together rather quickly when life around me feels chaotic. The road has become a place of steadiness, after years of grief — drawing the beauty and light changes into my heart. And you noticed :) I love how you said “weird peace in the in-between spaces.” That’s exact. Like a never-ending reaching for what is true, appreciated and beautiful.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. This honestly made my Christmas. ox
