Year End 2011

It is with some difficulty that some of us turn this last page of the calendar. How could it have gone so fast,although some days seemed endless, while we waited for tomorrow to come.

How many things did we get to "check off" our lists and how many did we add? Yes, thank goodness that carry-overs are allowed!

How many special, dear people left our lives and how many wonderful, spectacular people added to our joy? Don't let us ever forget that every goodbye was once a hello.

How many headstands did we accomplish, mountains did we scale, books did we read, words did we pen? Most of us will not have won a Giller Prize, set a world record (in anything!) or made a medical discovery. But still all our "little things", each step we took to our half-marathon, each photograph we took, each thing we said "no" to, have made us the person we are today on December 31st 2011.

 Praise and celebrate each tear we've shed, each smile that lit our face, each lesson learned these last 365 days. We are today, because of them.

Cheers for a wonderful New Year's evening. Be well, be safe.

Start a Blog - check

So here I am on my first ever blog entry (is that what you call it?). Oh well, I will learn no doubt. A new adventure for me, and it's only the 4th of January.

Never at a loss for opinions, well goodgrief I am the expert of Me! am I not? I plan to talk about all kinds of Magic - magic that comes in photos I've snapped, books I've read, words I've been witness to and words I've put together in some kind of magical, poof! sort of way. And when you get to know me - I will even share about being single at 50+ and what its helped me discover about myself.

Cheers for today, but come back OK?
