Happy New Year!

2013 is 29 minutes away.

My husband is in bed not feeling well.

I am rocking my sweet girl back to sleep.
She is snoring softly in my ear.

It has been a long time since I brought in the New Year by myself.

I'll have to celebrate with the dog, but he will likely be in bed with my husband.

2013, what do you have in store?

2012 came and went so swiftly and with many changes in a seemingly short span of time. A whirlwind of the most lovely, surprising and welcome sort.

It is hard to believe that the little one will turn two in 2013.
My husband and I will celebrate 12 years together and six years married. I hope to create and cultivate more joy and love and peace in 2013.

From Tennyson's "In Memoriam":

Ring out the old, ring in the new
Ring happy bells across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
