These first few weeks of this shiny bright new year are probably going to be a tad tough, however I am feeling upbeat. It is also the start of January Squares. We’ve got thirty one days ahead of us where we are going to be surrounded by lovely people and inspired by uplifting squares.
Wishing everyone a happier new year, that is also healthy. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can return to a life where we all have a little bit more freedom to explore, and can easily and safely see family and friends. But in the meanwhile let us find joy in our squares and together (if you press play in my square video above) go up, up and away!

Wondering what to do next? Well here are a few more ideas for this month’s theme of up. Remember it is totally up to you how you interpret the theme, the only absolute rule is that your main photograph must be SQUARE.
It would be so uplifting if you can join me over the next thirty one days, however don’t worry if daily posts are not for you. In this challenge be kind to yourself and post when it suits you. All I ask is that your photograph has 4 equal sides!
I love receiving comments as well as a pingbacks on my square posts, and it would be fantastic if you were able to find a few minutes to visit at least one other squarer. Together, with the tag SquareUp, we can support each other and be upbeat about 2021.

Happy New Year Becky

I’ve sort of got a theme. We’ll have to see if I manage to stick with it for the month.

A square video! I’m impressed just by that. 🙂 And I’m totally ready for a better 2021, though I fear we’ll have to slog through a good part of year ‘as is’ until the vaccines are widely available.

Great start! And clever to use a square video. I’m not sure how you managed that. My first post is up and we both used almost the same title. 🙂 Great minds…

Great minds think alike 🙂
and I currently have access to video editing software that enables me to square, and add music. Very useful
