I can only hope you can enjoy this day and celebrate in some fashion. If it is only real on paper, arbitrarily picked to some degree, it is still a second chance, a beginning, and the close of the last year. I thought to buy a bottle of champagne, nothing fancy but not cheap either. It was not to be had, I waited too late to look. I decided on a sherry. It was not my usual brand but it is a nicer one or so my wallet says.
Staying up until midnight may not be my thing. Nor, probably, will I consume the whole bottle. A few sips and I think I will be off to bed early tonight. So, cheers! And, good night.
Happy New Year!! :)
ReplyDeleteI had not intended to stay up 'til midnight. New Year's celebrations are not my thing.
ReplyDeleteBut about 5 after 12 I got up with a start, as I realized that I had left a sprinkler running.
I marveled at the moon, which was almost directly overhead--this being the full moon closest to the winter solstice. (I noticed earlier in the week how it set far to the northwest.)
This morning I discovered I had created a winter wonderland in the vicinity of the sprinkler. The ice on the trees and fence lasted until late-morning.
Teresa,
ReplyDeleteAre you nearing the end of schooling? I know that the closer it gets the better it must be! It can only get better:)
D.C.,
Nice! Accidents, sometimes, are gifts. It's why I try my darnedest not to get too upset about things anymore. Little gifts from God to show us that our plans, even if well intended, sometimes miss the point? Yes, maybe.
Doom,
ReplyDeleteIt should take me about a year and half to finish. How close are you to finishing college?
About the same if I went full time, maybe another semester. I am on such a weird track it is difficult to pin down. It sounds like we are in the same boat, though I hope your paddles are better than mine! *grins*
