it is 2012 and i am happy
i went to bed before midnight on new year's eve. yay!
i always want to go to bed before midnight on new year's eve – i am not a night owl – but in the past i have been sneakily coerced into staying awake against my sleepy will.
this new year's eve, i thought about my day and year, spent time with one of my favorite people, ate good food, read most of an excellent book, and went to bed at my usual time.
on new year's day, i ate pie for breakfast, took atlas for a walk in the sunshine, thought about my day and year, spent time with another dear friend, ate more good food, finished the excellent book, and went to bed at my usual time.
life is good. and i am happy.
how are you? really? i'd love to sit next to you and listen.
LOVE this image, Elizabeth… it’s perfect for the joy just now! Great to be back after two weeks away at Christmas and catch up with you here. Just now surfacing from jet lag…LOL… Wishing you all the very best in 2012–PEACE, LOVE & JOY!!((HUGS))
i think you had a perfect new year’s celebration!
mine was very similar. i did watch a little of the big bang theory, but then just wanted peace and quiet. i awoke at midnight to horns and fireworks in the distance and smiled, realizing i had peacefully ushered in the coming year.
always something nice about a clean white page.
love,

What was the excellent book? Happy New Year! I’m putting away Xmas decorations today. Post-call, so a little tired, but drinking coffee, listening to new music, and enjoying one last day of vacation for now. I’m making dinner for Katherine tonight, too. We also discovered today that Ty has been feasting on butter over the holidays – luckily, we had not been using it.
happy new year elizabeth! that image is so juicy, I just love it.
good for you! that’s probably what I should have done – gone to bed early. But I went to bed shortly after midnight, instead. Here’s to a year full of good health & happiness, Elizabeth! Hope it is everything you imagine it to be.
@kate: i hope your celebration was fun, though! happy new year to you!
@jennifer: thank you! the happiest of new years to you!
@amy: switch (by chip & dan heath) – about change. fascinating stuff. oh, ty. does she have a soft and lustrous and shiny coat now?
@tammy: i love the big bang theory! i hope the peaceful ushering in means a peaceful new year for you!
@tracy: welcome back! i hope you had a wonderful time!
you have been sneakily coerced into staying awake against your sleepy will?!? sounds dreadful and mean! 😉
What a fun and sparkly photo! I’m glad you got to sleep early and especially tickled that you had pie for breakfast. Have a radiant year! Love and hugs to you.
I did almost the exact same as you!
Except pie for breakfast….if I had thought of that, I would have done it.
