Black Saturday a Year On

As I drove to the Yarra Glen Market at 7am I was touched by the wonder of the morning. a day we will not forget a year ago, which started with such wind and heat , today a year on, a peaceful morning. The Yarra Valley had fog rolling in the fields and in the fog as the sun rose, beautiful hot air balloons took off. I... was mesmerised and pulled to the side of the road to watch. My beautiful personal moment to remember the past year, I hope the deep sadness I still feel today for my friends will begin to ease, as the morning today felt full of hope, a fresh beginning. I continue to be in awe of my friends courage, resilience and dignity. Today truly was a beautiful day.
