Re: New Year?
As there seems to be a theme here.New Year is often an emotional time.
I like these words.
To Tiffany's surprise, Nanny Ogg was weeping gently. Nanny took another swig from her flagon and wiped her eyes. 'Cryin' helps sometimes,' she said. 'No shame in tears for them as you've loved. Sometimes I remember one of my husbands and shed a tear or two. The memories're there to be treasured, and it's no good to get morbid-like about it.

Ring out the false, ring in the true. Alfred Lord Tennyson.Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness. William Shakespeare
We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.
