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

The important thing about blogging is not posting.
What really is important
is visiting all of your friends
and sharing their lives.
While I've been "fasting" from the keyboard & screen
you have been much in my mind.
Thank you for your posts, your words, photos,
and generous comments here.
Here's to a new year!
Here's to you! Here's to all the Best!
Cheers! Warmly, cloudia
"Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors,
and let each new year find you a better man." Benjamin Franklin
