We arrived in our French town this day last year and closed doors to one life, a career for my husband, a different country, and opened doors to new friends, another language, culture and way of living. I thought of this as we were having interior glass doors installed this week to provide an improved sense of light and space.  My next post will be an update on doors! As Alexander Graham Bell said,”when one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us”. In a rollercoaster year of supporting each other and others, we celebrated what we have achieved,  thought sadly about our losses and stepped forward.
