A New Year

This is my view of the first couple hours of the New Year. The guests have left, the bottle of champagne (and a couple bottles of wine) are empty, the sink is full of dishes. I have the lights off, the tree still twinkling, and the candles glowing. I like it. Inspite of it being an hour and a half into the new year, I'm not tired. I called my boyfriend at midnight London time and he called me back just a bit before midnight here. At least we got to talk a bit. It wasn't what I had planned but I was able to ring in the New Year with a group of friends around my table, a wet snow fall outside, and a place to call home. For those things, I'm thankful.

Happy New Year everyone!
