a new year...new days...
1.1.11
Those very numbers must denote a new beginning mustn't they?
I was home alone last night
not through want of celebratory invitations and phonecalls and possibility,
but through a need for quiet
and contemplation
and quietness as my babes peacefully and innocently slept around me, oh so soundly.
Contemplation of life's twists and turns and meaning.
Today is a new day...coincidentally a new year... open to me...
a crossroad
a blessing and a curse
a challenge and a reply...
a look at what was reaped and sown throughout the last...
a slow deep breath after a long swim against the tide.
I'm not usually one for new year sentimentality
and truth be told I struggle to stay awake to even see one in,
just as I did last night...
but sometimes, just sometimes
the universe throws us a new beginning we need...
a reason to be sentimental
and grateful
and strong
and vulnerable
and me.
Happy new days everyone.
May they bring all the new opportunities and peace you need also.

New years are a perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Wishing you a very happy and peaceful new year!
Such a way with words. :) This is really lovely. Happy New Year! May it bring with it lots of love and beauty.
In response to the comment you left me, I fear the garden is slowly starting to brown.....the heat is taking it's toll. But I guess you get that with changing seasons and it helps you to appreciate the beauty of spring.
