primsongHappy New Year to all and sundry! Hey, go us! We made it to 2014!
As one of my pastors says, "Did you wake up this morning? Did you get out of bed? Then thank God that you woke up and had the use of your limbs. Some people didn't wake up, some people can't get out of bed. It's a wonderful day!"
Nothing is missed as much as the mundane when it isn't there, after all.
Fell asleep to the sound of fireworks going off in the surrounding neighborhoods, some of which sounded distinctly like they ought to be illegal but hey, at least they weren't followed by sounds of distress and/or sirens...shakes the dust off the trees for the new year, right? Had subsequent dreams of people shooting holes in boats and trying to blow up a library, heh.
Hope it's a good day / month / season / year for everyone - I tend to be an optimist about the future for the most part, everything looks full of promise when it hasn't happened yet, same reason I love mornings.
