"For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
~ T.S. Eliot
Happy New Year!
I hope 2015 is off to a grand start for all of you. It's only been six days, but I can feel it's going to be a good one - I hope you do too. I've been in full-on reflective mode. A new year always does that to me; thinking back to what all transpired within the last twelve months. Plenty of good things, the jump for joy good things, but also those moments that had me do the ugly cry and curl up into a ball. Oh the agony and the ecstasy of life. But somehow, we dig deep, and just get through it. No doubt with a little help from our friends. And chunks of dark chocolate and cheese; and new seasons of favourite shows (Downton! GIRLS!) and the odd glass of red wine. And whiskers on kittens. You get my drift. It's all in the details. The minute, seemingly mundane things that make up a life, a year. As the year flashes back, there's no need to connect the dots right away. Oh but we try. The thing is, with as much gratitude as we can muster, to recognize that each new person and experience is another dot on our map. I hope your map for 2015 is full of all things beautiful and glorious. Cheers to beginning again.
