For me, New Year's Day 2013 starts with homemade huckleberry pancakes and basted eggs breakfast, the Rose Parade and college football games, then quiet moments sitting in front of the fire resting and relaxing, reading Flannery O'Connor, and Russell Janney's Miracle of the Bells. Gary and I play Cribbage, and watch deer just outside the window as they nibble at each other's muzzle.

It's cold and grey outside, the trees flocked with snow, but this day, like every New Year's Day brings a feeling of excitement; An anticipation something fresh and beautiful lays ahead. It allows us to shed the mistakes and missteps of the past year, and a freedom to renew the failed resolutions we didn't quite meet in 2012. To strive again to be more generous and kind; to forgive. To lift the spirit of family and friend. To hold a hand, to understand.
How many of us don't long for peace in our families, communities, our nation; our world? With this first day of the new year, I have hope peace, and love can be found.

Love this! You have a gift of writing about what most of us feel. I so wish for peace for all and that there was more written about love instead of all the horrible events that have happen lately. Once again thank you so much!
